The Creative Efficacy Scale
 |
The
Creative Efficacy Scale is a paper and pencil, self-score instrument that
measures potential creativity versus actual creativity within people.
The inventory is based on the premise that creativity is often crushed by factors within
our thinking process or the
influence of life events. The survey is intended to promote reflection upon an
individual’s creative capacity and provide insight into the creativity
crushers that diminish that potential.
A group can use it, when scores are shared, to assess actual team
creative efficacy and identify organizational factors that may inhibit the
process.
Perhaps the most
effective way the Creative Efficacy Scale can be used within an organization is
as a measurement of both rational and intuitive problem solving. The chart below
is a sample of feedback as it relates to problem solving style.

Style |
Conservative,
analytical, disciplined, systematic in their approach, intolerant of
ambiguity, logical, conforming and predictable |
Innovative,
impractical, often function on hunches and gut feelings, organized in a
sloppy way, enjoy pursuing new ideas and chafe at restraint. |

Problem-Solving
Approach |
Rational
approach documented with facts, organized and logical, limited
disruptions and focused on achieving measured results. |
Intuitive
approach based on creative ideas, playing with the possibilities, chaotic
and focused on achieving innovative results. |
|
Strengths |
Stability,
incorporating new data into existing structure, refining and, in fact,
implementing new ideas that have been adopted into practical applications. |
Embracing
and leading change, pioneers pushing organizations and the human race
forward with new ideas and approaches. |
When a group of
people share their results within an organization, participants can be placed
around a room or table based on their scores, with the rational and intuitive
problem solvers ending up at opposite ends of the continuum.
That’s okay because they seldom talk to one another anyway, although
they often make somewhat uncomplimentary comments about one another.
"Some
of the loose canons around here need to have their medication increased."
"Those
knuckle draggers are living in the past."
