Currently, creativity has been given much emphasized in education and both teachers and students are given the necessary training and support by the Education Ministry to enhance this potential.

CAS is a system use to assess the creativity level of user which based on three main dimensions, namely Fluency, Flexibility and Originality. This system was designed as a total package whereby it not only gives a valid and reliable score, but also give immediate interpretation of the respondents' scores as well as recommendations on how they will be able to enhance their level of creativity.
