Abstract
Researchers have used the Instances Task to measure creativity for decades. A count of the number of responses (fluency) is the most common index of creativity. We will present and compare three methods for measuring the originality/uniqueness (rarity) of participants’ responses, and provide a database of responses for measuring flexibility.
