DEMOS Project - Module: Dyslexia

Simulation 2

We would now like you to test your ability at thinking in one of the ways that dyslexic students excel. Please try a couple of the lateral thinking puzzles at the following resource :

Paul Sloane's list of Classic Lateral Thinking Puzzles

Next, please try our creativity test :

Imagine you are on a desert island and one of the only things you rescued from your ship was a large paper clip, how many uses for it can you think of? Give yourself a couple of minutes to come up with suggestions and make a written record of your efforts.

Compare your answers with our list on the next page.

For a discussion of the origins of the paper-clip test please see http://www.dmu.ac.uk/~jamesa/learning/converge.htm
