Please note: After you complete this survey, we will e-mail you results from this exercise as well as provide you with comparative results from work done at Stanford. Over time, you will be able to view your creative process and what the experience is like for you, enabling you to better understand how creativity works for you. We will also help you in capitalizing on your own inherent creativity and that of a larger collective.

1. Think of a time when you had an idea-- one that solved a problem or effectively dealt with a situation. (It doesn't have to be anything earthshaking. It could be how you managed to get into work in a new way or dealt with a traffic jam. Or it could be something more lasting, such as how you got into a particular job, or decided to get into, and maintain, a relationship.) Whatever it is, enjoy the memory of it for a bit. Relive it in your mind. Then click on all the characteristics that that you experienced in each of your creative stages:
   
   Stage 1 - Before - when you had the problem but hadn't developed the solution.
   Stage 2 - During - the time you had the idea, the Eureka moment or process.
   Stage 3 - After - the period of time when you implemented (or didn't implement) the idea.
   
   For each stage, click all of the feelings that apply
