  • Creative Achievement Questionnaire: Individuals check off actual accomplishments across ten distinct domains.
  • Runco Ideational Behavior Scale: This scale consists of 23 statements that participants indicate agreement with.

Adjective Checklists

  • Gough's adjective checklist prompts people to rate how well 30 adjectives describe them.
  • Domino developed a similar checklist with 59 adjectives.
  • Adjective checklists can perpetuate gender stereotypes and cultural biases.

Remote Associates Test

  • The Remote Associates Test evaluates the ability to connect seemingly unrelated items meaningfully.
  • Sarnoff Mednick is the theorist associated with the Remote Associates Test.
  • Example items from the test include word associations like "CREAM, SKATE, WATER" where the fourth word would be "ICE".

Creative Functioning Test

  • Smith & Carlsson are theorists behind the Creative Functioning Test 2.

Creative Strength and Flexibility

  • Ideational Flexibility: Pictures of two objects are shown briefly, with extended viewing time to test flexibility.
  • Creative Strength: The same picture is shown for progressively shorter time periods to assess creative strength.

Applications of Creativity Assessment

  • Creativity assessment is used for identifying creatively gifted children, researching creativity, and counseling the creatively gifted.

Types of Assessments

Types of Validity Evidence

  • Content Validity: A table of specifications is used to validate objectives with a content expert.
  • Criterion Validity: Compares a test of unknown validity with a known validity test (concurrent) or predicts future outcomes.
  • Construct Validity: Validates how well an assessment aligns with a psychological model.

Validity Relationships

  • Convergent Validity: Statistical demonstration of related measures.
  • Discriminant Validity: Confirms that unrelated measures are indeed unrelated.
