Guilford's Alternative Uses Test is a psychological assessment designed to measure creativity. It asks participants to think of as many uses as possible for a common object, such as a brick or a paperclip, within a set time limit. The variety and originality of responses are evaluated to gauge creative thinking. The test focuses on divergent thinking, which is the ability to generate multiple solutions to a problem. Developed by psychologist J.P. Guilford in the 1960s, it has been widely used in educational and psychological research to understand and enhance creative potential.
