About This Assessment
Creative Personality Abilities Questionnaire Test

Creative Personality Ability Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This questionnaire is designed to provide a brief self-report screening of creativity-related personal characteristics. The Creative Personality Ability Questionnaire is intended to sample individual differences in areas such as idea generation, cognitive flexibility, and affective openness, based on responses to 48 items.

Administration typically requires about 9 minutes. Results are generally interpreted as descriptive indicators of creative tendencies and may be used to inform clinical, educational, or organizational discussions when integrated with other sources of information. The Creative Personality Ability Questionnaire is attributed to E. Paul Torrance and Frank Barron.
