Loy, that was a generalization; I'm sure there are some highly divergent thinkers who find a way to play the standardized test game (I've mentioned before that my mother re-conceptualized these kinds of tests for us as a game or puzzle in which the objective was not the "right" answer, but to figure out the test designers). And your DD's results on the "creativity test" may or may not reflect her actual level of original thought. After all, if her thinking is divergent enough, the developers of that test may not have been able to capture it on the test! The real test of creativity is IRL, not on formal testing.

Thank you, Elizabeth--yes, that is how I acquired my pool of clinical knowledge.
