The test is used to assess the general creative abilities of individuals, often known as someone's personal creativity.
.
The AI's results were evaluated by the Scholastic Testing Service, which did not know in advance that some of the tests it would be scoring were completed by an AI.

According to PsyPost's results, GPT-4 scored in the top 1% of test-takers for originality, which may be the first time that AI has met or exceeded human ability for creativity.
In 1956, the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence proposed its desire for AI to simulate , "every aspect of learning any other feature of intelligence.".
In that 1956 proposal, computer scientist Nathaniel Rochester posed a question which stood at the center of his motivation: , “How can I make a machine which will exhibit originality in its solution of problems?”.
PsyPost points out that AI's founders suggested that creativity was among the types of human intelligence that machines could successfully emulate.
.
Some critics remain skeptical of the term "creativity" being applied to nonhuman entities like AI.
Cognitive scientist Margaret Boden argues that the term "creativity" being applied to AI is a philosophical question rather than a scientific one.
