<h1>About This Archive</h1> This project contains files for a wide array of tasks and self-report scales for research on creativity, aesthetics, and the arts. <h2>Permission Free</h2> Researchers are welcome to use these tools in their own work. You do not need to request permission to use any of these scales or tools for academic and non-commercial purposes. <h2>Topics & Formats</h2> <p>The archive focuses on creativity, aesthetics, and the arts. It contains both self-report scales (e.g., creative achievement, art knowledge, humor styles, personality traits) and lab tasks (e.g., divergent thinking, humor production, metaphor production). Some popular personality and individual differences scales are included as well.</p> <p>Most tools are available in both "hard copy" formats (Word or PDF) and in formats for importing into research software. The most common e-formats are for Qualtrics (QSF format) and MediaLab (QUE format).</p> <h2>Languages & Translations</h2> Although most tools are in English, an increasing number of translations are being added. We invite researchers with non-English versions to contact us if they want to add their tool. <h2>Have a Tool to Add?</h2> We welcome submissions of new scales and tools, including translations of these tools and e-copy versions for popular lab and survey software systems. Contact either Paul Silvia or Mathias Benedek and include a copy.<br> <br>To provide further context for your measure such as scoring instructions or relevant references, please also submit a readme file (see the <a href="https://osf.io/download/cm8ye/">README_template.md</a> for information on its typical structure and content). <h2>Structure</h2> Each task or scale has its own folder with various components, including language versions, computerized versions, norms, and more. Additionally, every folder contains a README (markdown file). <img src="https://mfr.osf.io/export?url=https://osf.io/download/7dvts/?direct=%26mode=render&format=2400x2400.jpeg" alt="folder_structure" /> <h2>Acknowledgements</h2> The archive was created in 2013 by Paul Silvia.
