WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Creative Potential Self-Report Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

creativity

This self-report measure is designed to screen perceived creativity-related tendencies relevant to idea generation and flexible problem solving. The Creative Potential Self-Report Questionnaire provides a structured way to summarize an individual’s self-perceived creative resources and identify areas that may warrant further discussion or development.

It consists of 48 items and typically takes about 9 minutes to complete. The Creative Potential Self-Report Questionnaire is attributed to E. Paul Torrance and is intended for use as a brief, standardized self-report instrument rather than a performance-based creativity test.
