3M Innovation Quiz

3M, the bastion of innovation, has a fun and engaging quiz within its Web site. It's not necessary to answer all 30 questions to get something fun from this, but if you have the time, it's a worthwhile educational exercise. Though the examples and questions can be very 3M-specific, 3M's lessons, approaches, and policies are embodied in the answers to each question. You won't walk away from the quiz knowing whether or not you've got a great new product idea or not, but you will get a sense of how one of the more frequently cited corporate innovators handles new ideas.
