About the Temperament Test – Khandwalla’s Blocks to Creativity

The Temperament Test – Blocks to Creativity is based on T.N. Khandwalla’s framework, designed to identify personality tendencies and barriers that limit creative thinking and innovation. It assesses cognitive, emotional, environmental, and behavioural blocks that may hinder idea generation, problem-solving, and original thinking. Developed by Khandwalla, an Indian management scholar known for his research on organisational behaviour and creativity, this assessment helps individuals and teams recognise obstacles and take practical steps to enhance their creative potential.

These blocks include:

1. Ambiguity (Allergy to): An intense dislike of uncertainty, unfamiliar situations, or problems with no clear-cut answer.

2. Conformity: A strong need to comply with social norms, group expectations, and established procedures, hindering unconventional ideas.

3. Rigidity: A preference for routine, fixed methods, and familiar patterns, making it difficult to adapt or embrace new perspectives.

4. Fear of Failure: An excessive anxiety about making mistakes, leading to risk aversion and an unwillingness to experiment with novel solutions.

5. Touchiness: High sensitivity to criticism or negative feedback, which can lead to defensiveness and a reluctance to share new ideas openly.

6. Starved Sensibilities: A lack of emotional or sensory richness, which constrains the input needed for imaginative and intuitive thinking.

7. Resource Myopia: A narrow perception of available resources (time, materials, information), limiting the perceived options for creative solutions.

Ideal for:

Ideal for clinical aids, counselling sessions, learner/student development, team training/development, and personal /career development programmes.
