WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Johnson Creativity Questionnaire Test

creativity

This brief measure is designed to screen observable indicators of everyday creative behavior and thinking. The Johnson Creativity Questionnaire is intended to support a rapid appraisal of how an individual tends to approach ideas, problem solving, and novelty in routine contexts.

The instrument includes 8 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. It may be used for self-report and, when appropriate, for informant ratings (e.g., by educators or caregivers) to supplement impressions with an external perspective.

In clinical or educational settings, the Johnson Creativity Questionnaire can be used as an adjunct tool to guide discussion of creativity-related strengths and behavioral manifestations, rather than as a standalone diagnostic measure.
