Fragebogen zu kreativen Situationen

Dear visitor!

Thank you very much for your interest in this survey on creativity. The survey is part of my doctoral thesis and is aiming on providing new insights in the relevance of situational factors for creative achievements. That means it wants to identify interior (psychic) as well as exterior circumstances that are either beneficial or detrimental for creative achievements.

In order to answer this survey I would like you to think about present and past situations in which you personally experienced yourself as being very creatively or very uncreatively respectively. Maybe you will also be able to identify certain patterns of creative and uncreative situations.

I very much appreciate your participation in this survey - your personal experience with creativity is very important to me. Of course your information will be treated strictly confidential, not provided to any third party, and will be only used within the scope of my doctoral thesis. In case you should have any questions regarding creativity or regarding the identified creative situations you can of course contact me any time via e-mail.
