**How to use:** Inspired by the figural activities used in creative-thinking assessment, this is a mirror for practice, not a formal test. Set a five-minute timer. Turn each circle into a different picture and give each one a title.

**Reflect (tick what applies):**

- [ ] Fluency: I finished all nine.
- [ ] Originality: at least two are things others probably would not draw.
- [ ] Elaboration: at least one drawing has rich detail.
- [ ] Abstract titles: at least two titles name an idea or feeling, not just an object.
- [ ] Resisting early closure: I left at least one circle open before deciding what it would be.
- [ ] Breaking boundaries: I combined circles or drew outside them.

**Which dimension do I want to stretch at work, and how?**
