is there a standardized way to test creative intelligence without testing for logical reasoning simultaneously

if so, what is the test, scale, and how is it administered?

Update:

    I don't think you could actually create a standardized scale that independently measures something so non-standardized as creative intelligence. This would certainly require some degree of subjectivity in the rating, which would call into question whether or not the test is valid (meaning that it measures what it purports to measure) and reliable (yielding consistent results with the same or similar test group.)

    If there IS such a test in existence, I would love to see your creative intelligence compared with that of some of the very successful artists who have cognitive and other developmental disabilities. Yes, I read and answered your question in the Special Education section with great interest. Perhaps you actually do belong to Mensa and have a high IQ; but you do not present yourself as someone who is capable of reasoned debate. In one of your responses -and no, response doesn't mean to sponse again - you got off on a tirade about "this grotesque form of your dna" and stated, without any data to back you up, that you are smarter than the person who answered your question. "That's all you ever were and that's all you ever will be?" That's not a fine example of logical reasoning at a Mensa level. Is your apparent difficulty in logical reasoning the source of your interest in separating the measurement of creative intelligence from logical reasoning? And I have no reason to doubt your statement that English is not your first language, but if you are fluent enough to toss off idiomatic phrases such as "sorry to burst your bubble," it's pretty disingenuous of you to pretend that you truly didn't understand that "re-" is not always a suffix meaning to repeat or do again.

    Is that an example of your creative intelligence, perhaps?

    I am hoping that you truly as as intelligent as you believe you are, and that you are able to use your intelligence to calmly and rationally react. (And yes, that does mean to act again.) Best wishes in finding a test that meets your criteria.

    Added response:

    Again, Jason, you demonstrate my contention that you don't seem to have the ability to have a rational debate. Rather than respond to my comments about the inconsistency in your stated language abilities, you come back with irrelevant nonsense. That type of diversion works (sometimes) in grade school, but if you want to present yourself as a Mensa member, you'll have to do better. Do you really not understand that your silly responses undermine your attempts to present yourself as highly intelligent?

    And FYI - I have taught children and adults whose native languages have included Spanish, Portugese, and several different Asian languages and dialects. Some were learning English as a 3rd language. All of them, even the young children, learned to communicate in English without having to resort to the silly and immature behavior you exhibit.
