This test assesses the ability to violate category boundaries in creative thinking (Ward, Patterson, & Sifonis, 2004). Participants were asked to ‘‘Draw an alien creature, the way that you think an alien would look’’. The drawings were scored using a standardized methodology on 6 clearly defined characteristics: the less similar to known earth-like animals (e.g. more than two eyes in its head, asymmetrical, etcetera), the more original. This is based on the rationale that, in general, people base their creations on known properties and that drawings that diverge from these properties and violate category boundaries are more creative.
