Actually, there ARE tests designed to measure creativity, where
normal, left-brain activity will NOT allow you to properly solve the
problem.  You obviously don't watch shows such as "The Brain" which
attempt to deal with creativity.  Haven't you ever had one of those
problems where the answer was simple, but thinking logically and
mathmatically didn't allow you to solve it?
