I enjoyed writing this article with Mathias Benedek, where we imagine the future of creativity testing, building on PISA's 2022 Creative Thinking assessment. We're hoping to turn these ideas into reality in the coming year.

Being Female and Being Well-Situated Implies Higher Performance on Creative Thinking Tests: Evidence Across 62 Countries from PISA 2022 https://t.co/iaGYCVwsdr

New work from our lab: generating new creativity tests using large language models:

1. AI "test generator" creates candidate test items
2. AI "test takers" solve them
3. AI "scorers" rate solutions for originality
4. Best items selected for creativity tests

New longitudinal study with @Simone_Luchini & @yoed_kenett finds that students who learn more effectively develop more interconnected semantic memory networks, with shorter paths between related concepts. This efficient knowledge structure may facilitate successful learning.

@iqmobile Thank you!

[Roger Beaty @Roger_Beaty]

Study by @SelinaWeiss14 & @BenjaminGoecke found the ability to generate lots of ideas (fluency) has little relation to generating original ideas, controlling for intelligence. This raises questions about the validity of fluency in creativity assessment.

Stark gesunkene Leistungen in den Bereichen #Lesen, #Mathematik und #Naturwissenschaften prägen den nationalen #PISA-Bericht und deuten, so Prof. Dr. Olaf Köller, auf bereits längerfristig anhaltende Probleme im deutschen #Bildungssystem hin. Mehr Infos 👉 https://t.co/b7UsnbokMF

Visual creativity is key to human expression, but assessing it requires substantial human effort. We introduce AuDrA, an AI system trained to evaluate visual creativity like a human.
