Convergent-Divergent Thinking and Arts-Science Orientation.

Lloyd-Bostock, Sally M. A.

British Journal of Psychology, v70 pt1 p155-63 Feb 1979

Tests of intelligence and divergent thinking, and a measure of arts and science orientation, were administered to 310 unspecialized, mixed-ability, secondary pupils. Hudson's notion of convergence-divergence as a dimension contrasting preference for open-ended v closed-ended tests was not supported. (Author/SJL)
