Divergent Thinking Scoring
Purpose
This skill encodes expert methodological knowledge for scoring responses from divergent thinking tasks (Alternative Uses Task, Unusual Uses Task, instances tasks, etc.). It covers the four standard scoring dimensions — fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration — plus modern automated scoring using semantic distance. A general-purpose programmer would typically count responses (fluency) but would not know the domain-specific decisions around flexibility category systems, originality thresholds, inter-rater reliability requirements, or how to compute semantic distance as a creativity metric.
When to Use This Skill
- Scoring responses from an AUT, Unusual Uses Task, or similar divergent thinking task
- Choosing between subjective (human-rated) and objective (automated) scoring approaches
- Computing semantic distance as an automated creativity metric
- Establishing inter-rater reliability for creativity coding
- Deciding how to handle the fluency-originality confound
Research Planning Protocol
Before executing the domain-specific steps below, you MUST:
- State the research question — What specific aspect of divergent thinking is being measured?
