The point of this post is to introduce the Creative Programming Problem Solving Test (CPPST) intended to help programmers identify creative strengths and shortcomings. According to the authors, "the analysis showed that we could group our questions in three bigger categories: ability (knowledge oriented), mindset (are you willing to put in effort? are you curious?), and interaction (the social aspects of creativity)." As in the other link today, the structure of this analysis (take a look at the test questions) suggests that reasoning requires interacting with the world in some way - discussing ideas, writing them out, etc.
