		Tade0 on May 2, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test My score is better than average, but looking at the highest scoring sets they seem to not follow the rules, because they use specialised terms like "trichrome" or "pustule". I'm not a native English speaker, but I don't suppose the mentioned words are used in normal conversation.

Pustule isn't a common word, unless you work in a medical context perhaps, but I'd expect a native speaker to know it.

My work group uses it all the time, but always preceded by “festering”.
