Guilford's (1967) divergent production tests and Wallach and Kogan's (1965) associative creative thinking tests are designed to measure abilities central to the creative process. However, results with these two batteries have been used to support alternative conceptions of creative ability. This research makes a beginning at studying these tests…

Comments critically on Richards' conclusion (AA 524 939) that the extent of correlations among tests of divergent-production abilities justifies the belief in a single unitary creative aptitude. (Author/RK)

Findings here indicate that an inventory can be constructed for a wide age range of elementary school children which can predict creativity. GIFT is easy to administer and score, and correlates with a composite creativity criterion, art teacher nominations, and scores on a Uses test. (Author/RK)

The major objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of group size on total fluency, flexibility, and originality of response to problem solving tasks and its effect on average per person fluency, flexibility, and originality. (Author/RK)

Article considered whether pupils' creative thinking and problem solving abilities can be improved through direct educational efforts. (Author/RK)

The absence of a systematically and readily available set of training activities may be the reason why studies on increasing creative thinking ability in educable mentally retarded children have had little or no influence on actual classroom practice. An experimental treatment program, commercially available and easy to administer, was used to…
