Abstract
In the previous paper, we focused on individual differences among designers, especially differences in their idea evaluation and interpretation during collaborative creative activities and proposed the method for analyzing results of designers’ evaluation and interpretation in order to indicate the potentially fruitful directions for further idea explorations. Detailed analysis of experimental results conducted in the previous paper showed the effectiveness of the method, but also showed that there is a room to reconsider the procedure of semantic interpretation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a modified procedure of semantic interpretation in order to improve the effectiveness of the previous method.
