Some interesting tasks in the ast have been seeing how many novel uses a participant can find for a mundane object over a specific time limit.

Others have focused on generative tasks, like coming up with imaginary animals. In that instance, each unique attribute was counted (e.g. antenna, horns, what have you) and used as a measure of creativity.
