WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Creativity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

creativity

This instrument is a brief self-report measure intended to screen for everyday expressions of creative disposition. The Creativity Questionnaire, developed by Davis, G., focuses on creativity as a trait reflected in typical preferences, behaviors, and ways of thinking rather than performance on a specific task.

The measure contains 21 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Responses are used to summarize the individual’s perceived tendency toward creative behavior in routine situations, supporting a quick descriptive profile. The Creativity Questionnaire is generally used as an adjunct to broader assessment and should be interpreted in context with other clinical, educational, or occupational information.
