Originality

BD05 Creativity & Innovation
Derived LayerMML-2

Version v1.2.4

Definition

A disposition toward uncommon, distinctive outputs; choosing non-default solutions with a recognizable “signature.”

Poles

Each HES element is a spectrum, not a category: the Low and High poles describe how it presents at its two extremes, while the Reference marks the typical, everyday middle. The poles map variation across the range — neither end is inherently better or worse.

Low Pole

Defaults to safe, conventional moves; avoids standing out.

High Pole

Frequently generates rare, distinctive solutions; low fear of nonconformity in output.

Reference

Originality appears episodically or mainly within a familiar niche.

Measure

Primary: Novelty.
Secondary: Distinctiveness.

Measuring Methods

Same-task group comparison → rank outputs by rarity and distinctiveness relative to peers.

Empirical Anchor

Originality / novelty generation; unusual uses test; creative originality — distinctiveness of output.

Notes

Originality does not guarantee implementability; that is closer to inventiveness or innovation execution.
