My colleague @_kristenlamb (University of Alabama) and I are doing a project on what people mean when they say they are OR are not creative. We are looking for participants to subjectively rank a set of statements that have been used in the past as indicators of people's beliefs about their own creativity. The expected time to complete participation is 15-30 minutes depending on how deliberate you are with your sorting. And you'll want to complete the participation on a computer rather than phone. The online system we're using requires that we send individual codes to participants, so if you are interested, please direct message me with your email and I'll send you an official invite with your personalized code. Thank you for your contribution to our work.
