Notes on Creativity Survey Results

Most people say they feel comfortable bending the rules some of the time.

Very few felt a need to find one right answer.

People were split on wanting things to be logical, and on idealism versus practicality.

Almost everyone likes to "work hard and play hard", including trying out new ideas.

People were quite evenly split on "playing with new teaching techniques" versus concentrating on "teaching students what they need to know". On the other hand, just about everyone said that they "embrace exploring" new teaching techniques.

People generally either disagreed about needing "conformity, consistency, and shared values" at work, or had no opinion on it. Maybe that was a confusing question, to get so many "Neither agree nor disagree" responses, or maybe it just seemed like too much of a loaded question.

A lot of people don't mind being wrong in public, but a fair number either do or said they weren't sure.

Most people in this group say they see unlimited potential for creativity in their teaching.
