Abstract

The human creative process can be likened to searching for solutions to a problem. This work introduces a computerized aesthetic composition task that is inspired by the “creativity as search” metaphor. Data from this technique can illuminate how personality and situational influences affect the creative process, rather than merely noting that they affect the outcome. Beyond this, the technique can be used to highlight underlying similarities between human creativity and optimization, as well as the important differences. Early results with N = 34 participants suggest that people’s search strategies do differ, and show connections between personality, evaluation criteria, and search strategy. Suggestions for future research are given.
