The Problem

Declining creativity scores

A Newsweek article entitled “The

Creativity Crisis” emphasized the need

for children to expand creative thinking

and cites a study that found creativity

scores have declined every year since

1990.

Test results in the following categories

have dropped steadily during the past 23

years.

Idea Fluency

Originality

Elaboration

Abstractness of Titles

Open-mindedness

The Problem

Creativity matters

1500 CEOs surveyed by IBM ranked

creativity as the #1 leadership trait

required for future success.

A survey conducted by Adobe shows 71%

of college-educated professionals believe

creative thinking should be taught as a

course, like math and science.Source: Adobe Creativity and Education: Why it Matters study
