My problem is I refrain from putting the words I want to use, even when they're clearly unrelated, because I can always figure out what a connection could be. I can find connections in anything.

Research on children, but interesting nonetheless.

Wow, thanks for that! That's really interesting. I believe it. The test was for "divergent thinking", so it stands to reason that "neurodivergent" people would score well. In my case I also have synaesthesia. That means every time I think of one word, a flood of others come to mind based on the word's colour, taste, shape, weight, etc. The words would seem unrelated to most people but in my mind there's almost always a coherent connection. I definitely think "all over the map", but that's just how my mind works. I guess ADHD doesn't help either. I'm still not convinced it makes me "creative".
I'd love to see this quiz done on neurotypical vs neurodiverse control groups.

I'd suggest trying 'em anyways. It's able to see connections between words I know I can't conceive of, so it's still worth trying just to see how it weighs the connections you're aware of.
Anyways,

I tried to do this again a few hours ago and the word "ureter" and some other word didn't even register for points. I'm so creative the quiz won't register it.

It's weird how it warns against using technical terms but seems to be really strict about what jargon is too obscure to qualify.

It wouldn't take: misophonia, photophobia, napery, or any nouns that might be detected as verbs (e.g., chase, lift, access, balance, coil, and others come to mind).
