Can you think outside the box?

Most job profiles include requirements such as „being creative“ or „being able to think outside the box“ – but how could you test where you stand?

One start taken from cognitive science could be the so-called „9 dots puzzle“:

You are supposed to link 9 dots using only 4 straight lines without lifting your pencil
(and without tracing the same line more than once).

Your solution requires some „lateral thinking“ which describes creative approaches that are not immediately obvious: Just give it a try – stay healthy and confident … 🙂
