I wonder...
How is creativity graduated from, say "ordinary creativity" through "highly creative", to "Exceptionally creative"? What is the measurement unit, and how is the measurement done - what is the tool? The test group and control group - which controls/tests are they subjected to in order to place them in separate groups? Is the measurement unit reliable - if any such unit exists at all? Valid? How is this (validity and reliability / uncertainty), in turn, measured?
The article was interesting, but it does not seem to answer these questions. As the topic is creativity, failing to even define this most central keyword (much less provide any metric or method for identifying it) ... ehrm... (well, honestly, words fail me here, I don't know how to express this in a polite manner...) it's just not good
