      I am actually trying to figure that out at the moment, but I do think there is quite a big difference. Of course it is important to decide first what you call creative and what not. For me, I am counting how many different things kids do with a specially created box and some toys. So far I’ve found some children just doing 8 different things, while other showed 38 different things. I think that’s quite a big difference, but it’s hard to relate this for example to how creative people are in drawing or something. That’s a totally different way of looking at it and maybe some of the people who are not really good in playing my game will be really good in drawing.
