Key. Creativity (ability to be creative) - in case of answers (+) to questions: 2, 4, 6, 7. 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 17, 19 and in case of answers (-) to questions: 1, 3, 5, 11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21.

The sum of the answers corresponding to the key indicates the degree of creativity. The larger the amount, the higher the creativity.

If the sum of the answers corresponding to the key is equal to or greater than 15, then we can assume that the respondent has creative abilities. The teacher must remember that these are still unrealized opportunities. The main problem is to help in their implementation, since often other character traits of such people prevent them from doing this (increased self-esteem, emotional vulnerability, unresolved core personal problems, romanticism, etc.). What is needed is tact, communication on an equal footing, constant monitoring of their creative products, humor, periodic pushing to "great things" and exactingness. Avoid sharp and frequent criticism, more often give a free choice of topic and mode of creative work.
