This is a normal post fun
but i'm not sure how fair it is to suggest that creativity can, or ever should, be assessed with a tricksy vocab test. my daughter is way more creative than me, but i'd beat her at this game every time.
it comes off like a pretentious interview question at a consultancy firm, to me.

This is a normal post I think the difficulty is clearly defining what creativity is, objectively.
The test probably does test some small, narrow, facet of creativity, what that means in wider terms is another thing entirely.

This is a normal post yes, it's this false idea that coming up with odd associations is a big part of creativity, like "hamster bingo"
when a large part of creativity is coming up with something that fits the best in context. give me Miles Davis over Ornette Coleman any day

The research this test is based on found it simply correlates well with common, more elaborate creativity tests, not creativity in the real world

This is a normal post not sure about its algorithm
"fish" is 73% different from "therefore", is it?
I'd like to see which categories they're in together. "similar contexts" would suggest a certain amount of subjectivity in the rules.
Got a 92.29 but it doesn't seem to be out of 100 as "conditional" and "stole" are 104 apart on their matrix
And I don't think it's measuring creativity, more one's knowledge of lexicographic categories, making sure you have just one from each with sufficiently different subject areas and tenses

therefore is not a noun

This is a normal post never said it was. I expected an even higher rating as they are quite different words
but it seems it's a simple measure of word frequency juxtaposition in sentences rather than any measure of intrinsic difference or creativity, and being lazy academics they probably pointed their compiler and some journal database, hence therefore and fish appearing together more often than you might expect

This is a normal post I think it marks you down for getting the instructions wrong
Or maybe it's just a randomly assigned series of numbers, and the real experiment is us.

This is a normal post ridiculous idea
If two words appear in same sentence therefore they are similar.

Oxymoron anyone?

This is a normal post 93.47
Then I tried again going for a low score. I used “cat, dog, walk, talk, eat, fish, bone” and got 63.48. It appears to have allowed a verb into that selection. I’m highly dubious this proves anything, but it was a pleasant enough three minute diversion.

This is a normal post Fun to manipulate the results these tests.
Posting it here gets a range of relatively high scores. Putting it on the Sun/Express/Mail etc websites might get a very different range.

This is a normal post A journalist friend of mine said that it can take more skill to write for the tabloid press
- compared to writing for the broadsheets. Everything has to be stripped down to the point, then steered toward the editorial goals, whereas there's no economy of language required to write for the FT, the Telegraph, or the Gaurdian. Still got your editorial goals though.

This is a normal post Yes, having to be brief and most easily understood can be quite a task.
I think being verbose is often an attempt to sound clever.

This is a normal post "They went for a walk"
Walk is a noun when it's an event. There's a lot of nouns derived from verbs that way, and vice versa.

This is a normal post Yes, dear.
Thanks for the breaking news about the interchangeability of verbs and nouns in English. However is ‘eat’ a noun? It’s creeping into the vernacular in the plural as a mass noun, but in the singular?

This is a normal post What a lot of bollocks you talk.
Most vernacular remains just that. For example, 'bollocks'.

This is a normal post Sorry, being too subtle.
"Pretty" and "Nice" are words that have radically changed meaning over the centuries. Kind of as if "Wicked" had come to exclusively mean "good".
