This week, they're over in this Tumblr post: braincraft.tv/p...
"Bald, Screech, Emblem" I so expected Vsauce to say "Me"
IKR!
I thought of owl
I thought about that eagle that craig always punches. poor eagle, poor poor eagle
Much better than the "right" answer which was Eagle. How are eagles related to screeches?
orbik eagles screech, so that's how they are related xD
Michael be like...
hang on. The word creativity is derived from the latin "creō". There are lots of creō people around the world. Speaking of people, there are over 7 billion people living on Earth. Now, this brings up an interesting point: 7 is a prime number...
Well, his videos are like that, so I guess he's also really smart and a bit distracted
Your comment just did my day!
0:23 Michael moves like kermit
Lmao thats what I was thinking
Adam Looze
Thank you. I just laughed for a solid minute
Thanks for watching! It was fun to try something new :) I also wanted to add some more thoughts about creativity...
There are many different dimensions of creativity. These tests are widely used measures of creative potential - they don’t claim to define or measure creativity as a whole (nor should you use only one as a basis for decisions about yourself or your abilities). The difference in the approaches and questions show how different the perspectives are of the researchers who develop them, when it comes to measuring innovative thinking and creative behaviour.
Also in the Remote Associates Test, Mednick (the guy who developed it) argued that more creative people would come up with a larger number of associations, with less frequently used words. So there’s not necessarily one “answer” to the three word pairs, even though it lists answers in the studies that use the RAT. (I still prefer divergent thinking tasks, because they’re not as subjective)
I am so glad you made this video, its very informative and interesting! I'm actually in the process of applying for a PhD program and studying creativity and I enjoyed seeing that you covered a huge portion on the methods used to measure it.
From what I've seen our current way of "measuring" creativity (or creative outcome) is via objective ranking from an expert panel. I think its very interesting that our running definition of creativity is to come up with something new and useful which is also very subjective. That's why there are some art pieces that sell for millions or strange sculptures that some people love and see value in and others don't think are worth the money or simply dislike. The usefulness aspect is very, very subjective...
Anyways, love the video and the collaboration with VSauce!
a cold sore like herpes, the cold shoulder like blowing someone off, and a cold sweat like you wake up from a nightmare.
they all have the word cold right in the front, that is the connection.
how old are you flow, these are very common expressions people usually know before they are 13.
I hate you for not calling Kevin (Vsauce2) in this video !!!!!!!!!
"They can die" Real talk with Jake
I said they can both be alive
This video was a combination of casual conversation and interesting tests, where you both get to participate yourself and find out the answers of other interesting people. I give it 3/3 Creativity Tests Videos.
+Mc Thanks! It's a bit different to my normal videos, so I'm glad you liked it :)
Check the end card 9:04
This is so much harder when you are not native speaker
Happened the same to me. I may need to learn more english.
Don’t try to think in english, just think in your native language and translate before you speak
I swear Michael is the only person that can shoot puns and instead of making me mad with it, makes me appreciate it.
He is so damn proud of himself at 3:44, it's great.
*sees Michael in the thumbnail*
*immediately clicks*
the way jake looks at Vanessa is heart melting
she is stunning
That's because their dating lol
i know!!!! towards the end i think he's like "can we just go home and make out now?"
VSauce and Braincraft?!? Yes!!!
Did you know she's going out with jake from Vs3
matt THORNE yep LoL
+matt THORNE Lets not turn this into DramaAlert
BrainSauce!
+Rodney Roque Ewww...
3:41 Michael was so proud of that pun, such a dad-joke, but I laughed, he's great
the cringe was real
He's a Dad now!
Fun fact: not only is mouse milk a thing - the "mouse milking machine" is a thing too (developed at the University of Ulm, Germany in 1981)
I like your definition of ''fun''
Oh, I think no one is surprised that first Mouse-Milking-Machine was assembled in Germany :D
I remember it was shown in Simpsons :D
Nikola: why is that? Do we have a mice milk export running that I'm not aware of? =D
Sore+Shoulder+Sweat= weight training at the gym #nodaysoff
i was thinking workout
backpacking
do you know why sore+shoulder+sweat is supposed to be cold?
cuz i don't get it
전희재 cold sore. cold shoulder. cold sweat. all are expressions
***** too bad i didn't know those expressions until now....
I was thinking that Vanessa and Jake looked way to comfortable (cute) together and then I read the comment and realize they are going out.
WHAT?!
+Combinemon they are a couple
They've been together for a while I think
Whovian_BenK Yes they have
LOL And they shake hands at the end of the video, now I understand the awkwardness of that handshake!
I kinda hoped going to the comments and finding Kevin from Vsauce2 going "that looks like fun 😢 I also love you guys"
It would have been hilarious, and sad.
What happened to Kevin..?
I couldn't film with Kevin 😞
+BrainCraft now he's probably watching this alone...:(
hes teh suk
+David Zheng I agree:)
isn't Kevin like across the country from them?
0:07
overwatch
0:35
a crystalized rat.
0:58
my dad playing fire emblem after his character dies?
1:06
a chamber full of boxes filled with staffs..
2:03
sweaty sore shoulders....
i'm hopeless......
When i heard "things with wheels" my brain shouted "Colors"... so that's how my day is going.
yes, more collaborations between braincraft and vsauce! :D
"I'm so glad you exist, I can't wait for Wikipedia though" LMAO
"I'm so glad you exist, I can't wait for Wikipedia though" lmao
I think Jake was really hoping there would be cheese at this taping.
cat and mouse are both smaller than planets..
i was gonna die after knowing that fact 😓
Neither said Tom and Jerry in "similarities between cat and mouse." :(
And as always... Oh wait... *cries in corner*
The Quasar Map was a really cool link, and I love that Michael would make it.
The whole video I was wondering if Jakes shirt said, "...if you want to live", underneath the picture.
It says "Come with me if you want to lift". Awesome shirt.
Ayyy Vsauce and Braincraft my favorite RUclipsrs back together again!
I'd say the best creativity test is to give the person a pen and a piece of paper
im happy to see michael. he hasn't uploaded a video since early april
Well, to be fair, that is his normal upload schedule and he does put a lot of effort into his videos. But I do agree it was awesome to see a Braincraft-Vsauce collab :)
Oh my goodness, the statement about old people is so spot-on.
Vsauce1 just chillen.... making 0 videos for his channel XD
The moment I saw him: OMG HE'S STILL ALIVE.
EVERYONE!
MICHAEL IS STILL ALIVE!
+Acel Cruz ikr!!! He's prolly working on some big thing or got an intensively time demanding job :(
He's a consultant for Google as far as I know - and he's been making much longer videos recently. He's definitely a busy guy. I'm sure there will be more soon though!
COME WITH ME
IF YOU WANT TO LIFT
thanks
lolol how'd you know we needed this?
Bro
zio_otio lel
Chamber, staff, box. And the guys all hesitated to keep it PG rated and not say what everyone was thinking.
"it can fly and carry me.... out of this video." hahahahaha 😂
So Michael...when r u doing the next Vsauce? I need my fix :)
He said he was working on the scripts in Chicago on his instagram today.
+Jan Of course! But if you check the channel, the time between videos has always increased gradually, but if you just look at the channel now it looks dead :o
Let's hope he finds some time inbetween :)
1:45 They're just talking over each other XD
Yeah, wtf?
lol. i didn't even notice that
I hate when people do that
that's why I don't really like her. It makes her videos so... controlled. VSauce is more spontanious I think
What came first: The chicken or the egg?
I find it amusing when you see people take these tests. Starts off fun then you can see them feel more exposed and vulnerable, looking for validation.
Some of my favs together👌🏻
6:27 You know, there's a potential for a separate cognitive test right there: When actively tasked with amusing itself, how long does the brain wait before appealing to the fun of the taboo? What I mean is after only three or four suggestions, I went to "Put a vibrating mechanism in the head... Put a bomb in it; admittedly the fun factor with that idea depends on who you ask" How many queries do you enter into a technologically limited chatbot before attempting to insult it? How many hours do you play The Sims for the first time before starting a fire? There's definitely a separate study to be conducted on how much a person's creativity manifests in the wholesome versus the profane. And before you say "Well who's to say what is profane?", I agree offensiveness is subjective, but I'm proposing a subset of reverse psychology phenomen where taboos actually enhance creativity and we have an easier time thinking of something when there's external pressure to not think about it. Something being considered "bad" actually decreases the time it takes to recall it.
Annie Trinity
I applaud the amount of thought that went into this anecdote
Great video 9/10 Would watch a sequel.
Danger Mouse. Loved it.
Vsauce and BrainCraft sitting in a tree.. K-I-S-S-I-N-G :-)
I usually think about creativity as simply a desire to create. Maybe we need two seperate words, in which one is the creative ability you have, and the other is how much time, effort and enjoyment goes into creating. Personally I think I'm not above average in creative ideas, but I love to create.
Good thought! I totally agree. Just the other day I was thinking about a few RUclipsrs who wouldn't be considered *artistically* creative but expressive instead. Or that their content isn't overly unique/original but it's easily recognised that they have a passion to create. It's just a way to vent their energy I think. 😊
I read your comment after posting mine. It seems we are the opposite.
Who else said "SECRETS!"
at the chamber,staff,box one?
lol same XD
lmao i said harry potter
I said mage
I said combat (gun chamber, quarterstaff, boxing).
I said prison
1. Love this video, had much fun. Literally avoiding washing the dishes and wishing 10 minutos more of this!!
2. The attraction between you (Vanessa) and Jake. That is a real thing. At least at this moment of life.
3. Love you 3!!
Like if it flew... Me away from this video lmao the passive aggressiveness 😂
A bit of awkward never hurts.
Excellent video, didn't understood the answers in the convergent test !
"Wheely-smart" FTW 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well played, sir.
7:49
"I'm so glad you exist, I can't wait for wikipedia tho"
I love him so much.
The toy would be more fun if a child was holding it, they'd be much more likely to have fun with it than adults. So give it to a child, it'll be much more fun!
Speaking of which, what if she conducted this test to a child?
At 5:42 I finally thought of a 3D coordinate system with a single small vector pointing to the left.
me too lol
This is where Vsauce has been. Oh... okay.
The drawing you made for the Figural Task reminded me of both a Daddy Long Legs with a couple missing legs, two mice nudging their noses together, and the flash that occurs before a massive explosion.
Chamber - Staff - Box. I thought the answer had to be 'room' because it works. A chamber is a room, staff-room, box room. And a cat and a mouse are both mammals, they both have fur, a tail, they're both animals, they're both small enough to fit in a cardboard box, they both make sounds, they can both run, they are both hyper-sensitive to sound and movement, they're both alive, they both have 2 parents, they're both kept as pets, they're both warm-blooded, they both have a skeleton, they both scare people with phobias, there are taxidermy examples of both, both have been used in animal testing, they're both largely nocturnal, they both appear in cartoons, they both have one-syllable names, I'd better stop now. The picture is a spider or a vagina with a tampon string hanging out. I'd make the toy more fun by putting a 'fleshlight' in it.
You're a very special kind of person aren't you.
Baires 456 My carer says so, yes.
My first reaction to the cat and mouse one was that they are both in Tom and Jerry. The toy one was to put a bomb in it.
A Gallon of Milk Here we see another special kind of person. Unabomber special.
Oh man, the look you give the camera after Jake says mice and cats can both die at 3:56 is perfect. 😂
Came because of VSauce - stayed for the awesome information. Thanks Braincraft!
Lol, it's like we wanna be good at everything, be super logical and super creative at the same time
Great format - more please! More vSauce collabs would be awesome as well!
That toy would be more fun if it were at my home.
Cats survive a fall-out? Oh, not only that! They'd probably cause one!
What's worse than an atomic explosion? Catsplosion
I wanna play along!
1. Widow Bite Monkey: Banana
2.Mouse Blue Sharp: Labratory
3.Bald Screech Emblem: Toupee
4.Chamber Staff Box: armoury
5. Sore Shoulder Sweat: rugby
In each example, the three words painted a picture in my mind, so I related them to a scene, then to a common factor.
1.cars, carts, bikes, Sleeping Beauty's enemy, the mind, sewing machines, pulley, trailers, wheel barrows, dolleys, gates, planes, chairs.
2.anatomy, furry, animals, mammals, make sounds, they can dig, they live in houses, they hunt, distane for humans, omnivorous, common to humans.
1. It could be a water bug, a spider, a crack on a windshield, a squid, a rawrshack, a hole in a wall, a depiction of a star, the sun, the residue of a circle with a cross on top that's been Xed out, a top view of a pyramid, the 5th dimention, a doodle, an octopus, a space craft, a bolo net gun, ground zero.
2. Make it bigger, make it a sock puppet, give it to a child, give it a nice voice, tie a string to it so it can fly, make it more colourful, associate a story to it, give it to a parent of a baby, put it on youtube as your co-host, make it a mascot.
3. I would most likely go to RUclips myself, but one could also find experienced people in different fields, gain experience yourself, try new things, experiment, diversify or specialize, library.
I want Kevin in there too :(
2 books that I studied in college opened up the world of creativity for me: "A Kick to the Seat of Your Pants" & "A Whack on the Side of your Head"
5:07 all I can see is 3D graph axis and a short line from the origin
At first I seen a spider. :D
Same, I immediately saw vectors. I guess we're not very original, more of the rational type uh.
I saw an airplane and then a single jack (from the game Jacks). Later on, capitol building
Chamber staff box. Sounds like an office to me
dude your profile pic really confused me for a sec, now thats original XD
Those two make a good couple.
no...
They are dating, if you didn't know. Jake and Vanessa.
Spodermen How do you know that
I had an Organizational Behavior professor who defined creativity as the ability to come up with the best solutions to a presented problem. He pointed out that any 2-year-old can put a towel on his back and say "Look, I'm superman". That doesn't make you creative; it makes you fanciful. I feel Michael is mocking the similarity 'test' by saying things are similar if they are smaller than planets. I also like the "things I'm not fond of answer", as that can't be disproven and can apply to almost any two things.The word association is more valid. There are real games (and game shows) based on that.
Why don't we use G.O.A.T? And I'm also SPECIAL.
fallout !!!!!
or a synth
Well I always dreamed of becoming MUTANT.
I remember I had to take this test after scoring as gifted on an IQ test at school in order to skip a grade. I've always thought IQ was a very arbitrary number but I've always valued my creativity, so I was thrilled when they said I'd scored 99.9% percentile for creativity. The tests involved listing uses for a paper clip and an orange, and drawing things from shapes
how tf did they grade creativity ....
+Jason Cardona I wondered that too (and how they grade IQ?) the alternative uses test I believe was just a number of different uses especially if they were all functionally different. unsure how they did the drawings, I guess the more different and unexpected the better in their eyes. my guess is watching this video gives a better idea on how it's graded than anything else
+Draw Curiosity IQ is graded compared to an average score. The normal score is 100 , above that means means above average
I guess creativity is done the same way then, as the score returned to me was a percentile. 50% percentile would represent an average score. 99.9% is more creative than average.
so Michael isn't dead
I was thinking the same thing... I miss him I want Vsauce 1 videos
Yeah I've seen him in a lot of collaborations lately
Darticus the Great really? With who?
Michael Hart I don't remember exactly, but I've seen at least 2 within the past few months.
Darticus the Great oh well. If you remember, I'd appreciate new channels with great content.
hahah "are we going to shake", "Lets shake hands!" ahahah this was great! Jake- Don't get down on yourself you know you are creative! keep up the good work everyone!
Michael, of course mouse milk is a thing, they are mammals like you said 10 seconds back.
Mammals are named for mamary glands
+Ashlynn Coocoobrain which equals milk
There are exceptions to ir
The test with the three words where one has to find the thing that combines them all reminds me of a game I'm used to play with my little sister when we are bored. It goes like this:
One starts by looking up a word in the dictionary. Then this person reads the definition of the word out lout, and the other person tries to guess what the word is. When the word is guessed, we switch and it is the other person to look up a word.
Well, they are much harder when they are not in your native language and they webs of associations that in your brain are not as developed.
I wish they discussed the paperclip test, where you come up with as many uses for a paperclip as possible - we had to take that one in college and it was frustratingly fun
that was wheel-y smart ;) keep it up!
Personal experience plays a big part in this. I closed my eyes and heard shoulder, sore, sweat and in a split second thought of lifting weights in the gym. Because my shoulder hurt while lifting in the gym.
Love you guys, but I feel like Kevin keeps getting left out :(
dude i love youre profile pic
"Both are smaller than a planet" I'm gonna use this from now on whenever someone asks me to compare things.
I still find such testing to be overly language dependent.
That's a very good point.
Lets just say that sore, shoulder and sweat did not make me think of blade or cold...
Jake's shirt tho...
stick around...and get to the choppa
he seemed high or something... it was kinda weird. not when he was talking though
The guy is going through a lot. If that was the case, I don't blame him.
+PMT's Slot Hit's n' Stuff oh idk i was mostly kidding but thats really sad if it true. drugs dont do anything positive :(
ShadowDragon
I just meant if it was for pain or anything like that :)
Nobody cares about Vsauce2.
ikr
rude
You are the personal secret accunt of Kevin, aren't you?
well it has more subscribers then vsauce 3.
Who?
"....away from this video"
Poor Jake #jakesrightsmatter
you re right
He looks like he's very uncomfortable
0.37 DANGERMOUSE LETS GOOOO
Why do you need to meassure creativity?
Because we pay for it !
I never fail to be amused by the non-rhoticity of Australian accents. That saw-sore thing, I totally get it hahaha
is anyone else madly in love with this gorgeous little lady? 😍
anonympersona I could take him easily
7:06 couldn´t stop laughing
What does "sharp" have to do with cheese?
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
sharp cheddar
Never heard of it. I thought the answer was IBM.
possibly flavor
you use a sharp(like knife) object for smaller serving sizes?
Nearly died when Michael answered "How would you get educated without schools?" -
Talking to old people. Before we had written language, it was the old people that would tell you.
- "OhMyGosh, I saw that once. There's a tsunami coming..."
- "I'm so glad you exist; I can't wait for Wikipedia doe..."
There was some major beverage spillage going on up in here.
Where is Kevin !!!!!!!!!!
"kelvin"
Dead
dood does collabs but doesnt post on his main??? where you at fam??????
Brain craft and vsause together, two of my favorite science channels!!!
BrainSauce!
Doesn't sound disturbing at all
...it still has brains on it.
Love your attempt at the American r sound. Australian accents are the best!
So this is why Vsauce hasn't made any videos in forever,
Why?
This
Coffeeisnecessarynow Because he has made this.
And it might be because he has cancer on his leg so he couldn't move in one of his videos he was sitting down the whole time.
Jamie Vasquez You talking about the vsauce 3 dude.
Michael was so happy about his joke.
