Creative Behavior Inventory

Discover how creatively you engage with the world. This is a self-report inventory of everyday creative behaviors across six domains — literature, music, visual arts, crafts, performance, and science. How It Works: You'll see 37 common creative activities. Simply check the ones you have actually done (at any point in your life, no matter how long ago or how well). Don't overthink it — check what's true. Why It Matters: The Creative Behavior Inventory is a validated, widely-used self-report measure of everyday creativity. Unlike ability tests, it captures your real-world creative engagement — the actual behaviors that matter. Research shows it correlates strongly with Openness to Experience, divergent thinking, and creative achievement. Be honest: This test is only as useful as your answers. There's no benefit to inflating.
