Warning: Avoid These Habits That Kill Your Creativity

Creativity is an essential element in the success of any endeavor. Likewise, you need to boost your creative juices during a high-stakes exam, such as the IELTS test, to keep your brain active and keep the ideas flowing.



The IELTS test measures the examinee's communicative abilities: writing, reading, speaking and listening. There is an available mock online IELTS test that you can use to supplement your online coaching sessions. It is important that when taking the online IELTS test, you remain focused and motivated. Boredom and other bad habits that kill your creativity may affect your performance. Read on and find out the practices that you need to break to boost your creativity. The section is divided into three tasks.

  • Underestimating yourself
Lack of confidence can affect your performance in the IELTS test. The more you tell yourself that you cannot accomplish your score goal, the more likely that you will feel down. Instead of focusing on the exam, you tend to deal with your confidence level. This practice hampers your creativity. Believe in yourself and bear in mind that you are capable of achieving your score goal!

  • Blocking constructive criticisms
Being closed minded blocks opportunities for improvement. Learn how to listen with empathy and take criticisms positively. Though not all the opinion of other people matters, it is important that you keep your mind open for feedbacks to help you improve your weak points. Listening to other people and analyzing their ideas can open fresh perspectives and spark intellectual conversations.

  • Focusing on other people
Comparing yourself to other people is tantamount to depriving yourself the opportunity to be creative and different. Focus on your growth instead. For instance, instead of comparing the results of your mock exam with your classmates, try looking on the exam components where you lagged behind and see what went wrong and how you can improve them.

  • Staying contented
There are various approaches to each problem. It is important that you keep your options open and that you stay curious. Look for better ways to tackle an issue and assess which among your options will be the best choice. The key to staying creative is not settling for mediocrity.

  • Sticking to the status quo
Do not just accept concepts as they are presented. Challenge established ideas and continue to ask. Curiosity fuels innovation and imagination. This is an important aspect especially in presenting your ideas.



A lot of factors can hinder your flow of creativity. Avoid the bad habits mentioned above and elevate your chances of acquiring your IELTS score goal.
