Please,
assess your abilities in using the following Information and Communications Technology programmes and functions
according to the categories below
| I am insecure and need help to use this type of tool. | I feel fairly confident and I usually find the solutions myself when using this tool. | I work independently and confidently and I am able to teach others how to use this tool. | I don’t know | |
| Using a word processing programme, eg. Word, Pages, Writer, Google Docs etc. | ||||
| Using a spreadsheet programme, eg. Excel, Numbers, Calc, Google Sheets, etc. | ||||
| Using the internet to find information | ||||
| Using communication tools and social media, eg. email, Facebook, LinkedIN, |
The following is a self-evaluation test to evaluate your level of creativity in your daily behaviour.
Please answer each question as honestly and instinctively as possible
| Never | Rarely | Often | Always | |
| When facing a problem at work, I like to find several possible alternative solutions. | ||||
| If I get a new task I prefer to follow the instructions carefully, to avoid any problems. | ||||
| When I see something strange and unusual I prefer not to get involved, to avoid inconvenience. | ||||
| In a discussion, I like to listen to the ideas of others, even if I do not have/share the same ideas. | ||||
| When things are unclear, I ask for explanations to understand better. | ||||
| When I have to do repetitive work I usually look for different ways to finish the task (either to find a faster method, a new method or to make sure that it is worth the effort). | ||||
| I prefer to reason with "logic and rationality" leaving out emotional and impulsive arguments. | ||||
| I love new challenges - they motivate me to do my best. | ||||
| I like to play with ideas. | ||||
| I agree with the statement: "copying is useful because it allows innovation." | ||||
| In complex situations I go to experts or those I see as experts. | ||||
| To convince others that my idea is right I am willing to fight for, explain and prove the value of my idea. |
| Never | Rarely | Often | Always | |
| Anarchy, in small doses, is a strong tool for innovation. | ||||
| I start tasks without fully completing them. | ||||
| It is impossible to be creative in office work. | ||||
| If I change jobs, I prefer one with routine tasks or where I know which tasks I have to do. | ||||
| When there are complicated situations at work I try not to think too much about it. Instead I use my intuition to find a solution. | ||||
| I do not like managerial and accounting tasks. They take attention and time from strategic work (eg. planning, development). | ||||
| I prefer the creative phase of a task because I can cooperate with others to produce new ideas. | ||||
| I prefer arts/humanities to natural/financial sciences. | ||||
| I am open to the fact that there can be alternative ways to reach the wanted result. | ||||
| Being innovative at work is a limitation. It is better to agree with the rest of the group. | ||||
| When I choose a restaurant or a bar I prefer those I already know because I know what I will get. | ||||
| Even when there are serious and critical situations, I like to think that there is a possible solution. You just have to look for it. It does not help to lose hope. | ||||
| I know and apply methods and techniques to develop creativity at work. |

legislation in the country you live in now might be very different from
