Creativity Tests – Introduction to Creativity
Assessment
Several creativity tests are widely used including the Torrance
Tests of Creative Thinking-Verbal and Figural (TTCT: Torrance,
1966). While other creativity tests will be discussed,
the session will focus on the TTCT because they are the most
widely used creativity tests worldwide and have been translated
into 36 languages. After participants are administered a
shorten version of the TTCT, the participants will be shown
what the TTCT measure, how the TTCT results are interpreted,
and the validity of the TTCT. Thereafter, the participants
will be able to judge their own creativity in light of the
TTCT.
