A creativity test by Stavros Stavru, PhD

One character. Many meanings.

Look at an abstract glyph for two minutes and name everything it could be, and why. The more you see, the higher you score.

A multiglyph: what could it be?

How it works

  1. 1

    Look

    Each test has five multiglyphs: abstract characters that can mean almost anything. Two minutes each.

  2. 2

    Name it, and say why

    A nurse? A tree? A conductor? Each idea is a point, and so is each reason that led you to it.

  3. 3

    Compare

    See your score on the book’s scale, what others saw in the same glyph, and where you stand on the leaderboard.

Multiglyphs began as an exhibition and five books about one idea: we all see the same thing differently, and that is a gift. Stavros explores the same idea at work.
