Creativity Testing

Imagine if you will a sheet of paper with a hot-doggish shape with a pencil in hand. Now imagine you can draw aaaaaannnnnyyyyyttttthhhiiiiingggg you want with that sheet of paper as long as it somehow includes that stinking curvy line as a part of the drawing. Now imagine it being sent to a far off land where some weird crazy freak person grades your imagination. Now for the record they didn’t say anything except include the shape, and a title/caption, nothing else just a blank slate with that one shape. Now imagine you get your results back with a 60/100 score, on a no right/wrong answer test.  Keep in mind they gave NO rubric, saying it had to be a specific object  just as long as it had the shape. You know what kind of person should grade/take this test no one . I mean first of all I can’t even see a need to test creativity, if you want to be test your creativity, Buy Scribblenauts. Not this  draw whatever you want keeping in mind some educational moron is going to give you a percentage on how creative you are. I mean you know… look next time you want to see  a cat and dog on a unicycle surfing a wave of choclate fighting zombie robot pirates in an attempt to save the planet cookie,  give us more freedom. Now this is what I think of all creativity test graders
