This study aimed to develop and validate the Creative Problem-Solving Skills Test (CPSS-T), grounded in Torrance's creativity theory, to assess these skills in university students. The CPSS-T consists of five open-ended question types, each designed to measure different aspects of creative problem-solving: Alternative Use, Hypothetical Scenario,…

This empirical investigation examined the cross-cultural usefulness of a measure of creative potential, namely the short form of the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS). The RIBS has been used in several investigations and existing data show it to be a reliable criterion measure, usually with a two-factor structure. Scores from the RIBS…

For decades, researchers have struggled with measurement problems related to the "construct validity" of divergent and convergent thinking in creativity assessments. In response, some have called for battery-based approaches. Recently, digital games have emerged as a potential alternative, offering increased "scalability" and…

In this study, I investigated the effectiveness of a creativity-support system that I developed in the level editor of a learning game called "Physics Playground" on improving college students' creativity. Moreover, I investigated the validity and reliability of an in-game assessment of creativity to measure students' creativity.…

Organizational innovation involves reconciling many contradictions or paradoxes. Dividing the process of innovation into phases ranging from Activation to Validation and examining each phase in terms of the six Ps of creativity offers a framework for making sense of these contradictions. The Innovation Phase Assessment Instrument (IPAI) was…

There has long been the suspicion amongst staff in Art & Design that the ratings given to their subject disciplines in the UK's National Student Survey are adversely affected by a combination of circumstances--a "perfect storm". The "perfect storm" proposition is tested by comparing ratings for Art & Design with those…

Previous research has found relationships between measures of creativity and Vocational Interests, especially the artistic type. To partially examine the validity of a new self-report measure of creativity, 115 college students were administered the Vocational Preference Inventory (Form C) (VPI-C; Holland, 1985; Lowman & Schurman, 1982) and…

The validity of 6 indices of divergent production was examined in relation to creative output by 144 undergraduates in 8 domains: visual arts, music, literature, theater, science and engineering, business, apparel design, and video and photographic work. Semantic fluency, ideational fluency, originality, and remote consequences correlated with…

Modern psychology offers a large range of scientific fields where it can be applied. The goal of understanding individuals and…

Whether 12 university students could discriminate validly between the correctness and originality of responses of 150 elementary school children to 3 creativity tests was studied as a determination of the discriminant validity of the tests through the multitrait-multimethod procedure. There was compelling evidence for convergent and discriminant…

TESTS ON CREATIVE PERSONALITY WERE STUDIED AND VALIDATED. THE FIVE TESTS CONSIDERED APPROACHED THE PROBLEM OF CREATIVITY MEASUREMENT IN DIFFERING WAYS. TWO WERE CHOSEN FROM PUBLISHED LITERATURE--(1) "SELF-DESCRIPTIVE EXPLORATORY RESEARCH INVENTORY," AND (2) "INCOMPLETE FIGURES TEST." THREE WERE ADAPTED OR DEVISED BY THE…

Two Minnesota Importance Questionnaire (MIQ) scales, Creativity and Independence were validated by experiment. Subjects (N=68) were exposed to four task conditions representing joint combinations of high or low levels of Creativity and Independence. The behavioral results were consistent with the subjects' MIQ score levels on the two scales,…
