0-3 The lights are off. You're just not creative. Never mind, someone's got to follow the rules. You're probably a successful lawyer - or traffic warden.
4-7 = Night Light. You've got a flicker, maybe a weak glow of creativity going on but you prefer to stick to the facts and leave dreaming to others.
8-11= Regular 60 watt. You're a good all-rounder, rational and imaginative in equal measures. You can see a good idea even if you can't always think of one.
12-15= Bright Spark. You've definitely got what it takes. Idea generation comes naturally to you. Your rational streak makes you a great evaluator of those ideas too .....but may just put a break on your imagination.
16-18 = Incandescent! Welcome to the loony Leonardo club. The sparks are flying all over the place & you could easily set the world alight. You're out of the box definitely & out of your mind, maybe? It doesn't matter you're a creative genius.

“Using BrainJuicer’s Creatives we generated over 100 ideas. There
were some good ideas, but mainly just extensions to what
we had! .
Mark Bentley – Innovation Manager Cereal Partners
The first test of the Creative Sixers
Used 50 Creative Sixers who had scored highly on the creativity test & produced demonstrably creative ideas
![Page 29: John Kearon Creative Consumers London in Prague 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062712/55d4a74fbb61ebb10e8b45f0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

1Chocolate Zoo Chocolate animals including white and dark chocolate

2
Chocoblast Chocolate shaped rockets, stars, planets etc. with a sachet of moon dust included to sprinkle on the top. (Moon dust could be some sort of crunchy sprinkles)
6.7 17
3
Choco Moon Rocks
Boulder shaped crunchy pieces with just a few alien shaped fruit flavoured soft pieces (different flavours available e.g. orange, strawberry) - giving the child a kind of treasure hunt to find the aliens
6.6 16
4Choc 'n' Spell Alphabet shaped chocolate letters which include full stops,
exclamation marks and commas 6.6 18
5Not provided Stars, moons and suns shapes, in chocolate with dried fruit
as well 6.5 17

Fruit 'n' Choc Puffs
Simplicity is the key here, so just take a cereal already in use and add a centre to it - like sugar puffs for instant, but minus the sugar coating you use chocolate instead. Then all you do is fill up the insides of the puffs with some delicious fruit puree or fromage frais. If puffs can be changed in its shape then go for it again keeping it simple i.e. stars and moons etc.
6.5 17
7Chocolate & Honey Bees Bee shaped and flavoured with chocolate and honey 6.2 17

Chewy Crunch I love toffee chewiest! Why not put chocolate-covered toffees and fruit pieces in with a crisp and crunchy oat-based cereal. The variety and not knowing what's coming next will make mornings more fun.

Reaction from BrainJuicer = “ Can we do this any better?…”
1. Diverse or Target Audience? Test with
“Young” 18-24 creatives & a diverse group
2. Challenge? Present three ideas generated
from the previous research and get
Creatives to use these as a starting point for
generating more ideas.
3. Time? Send Creatives a description of the
task BUT not the Juicer. Send the Juicer 4
days later.

Use Creative Sixers 6% who scored highly on the BrainJuicer® creativity test & produced demonstrably creative ideas
Increase creative output by challenging them to better the co.’s best current ideas [produces 4x the number of ‘sixes’]
Increase creative output by giving them 4 days to think about it [time to ponder produces 3x the number of ‘sixes’]
Increase creative output by asking for at least 8 ideas since the best ideas tend not to be the 1st ideas [edit for the top 50]
How the Creative works?

New methods Top Ideas Wild Ones - wildlife animals (close to extinction, could come
with wildlife cards & facts) that have a soft centre (like mousse) filled inside tummy with probiotic chocolate flavour yoghurt & the outside crunchy covered with oats
Burst Me Baby! - different shapes, with chocolate filling that expand with milk and burst in the bowel creating Choco-milk
Magigrains - This cereal starts off as small grains of chocolate cereal in a small box about twice the size of a box of raisins - and the children can either pour these chocolate cereal balls in to their mouth where they expand and maybe crackle (like rice crispies)
Creepy Crawley Cereal - Assorted insect type shapes, worms, beetles, bees, caterpillars etc. Worms soften in milk to gain movement, caterpillars unroll wings from their original state to turn into butterflies. Gains both boy & girl elements of interest
Ice cream cone - Ice cream cone shaped cereal strawbery icecream flavour pieces in the shape of mr whippy ice creams. with the idea that they could have freeze dried pieces of real fruit inside the biscuit shapes. including vitamins etc
Etc etc…
