WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Creative Personality Characteristics Test

creativity

This measure is designed to support a brief appraisal of creative potential in children and adolescents. Creative Personality Characteristics integrates performance-based and informant-based perspectives to describe both creative thinking processes and personality features associated with creativity.

The instrument consists of multiple components that may include a divergent thinking drawing task scored by a trained rater, a child self-report questionnaire, and an external rating scale completed by a parent or teacher. Items and tasks focus on identifying patterns relevant to creative functioning (e.g., curiosity, persistence, openness), with emphasis on integrating self-perception and observer reports in clinical or educational contexts.

Creative Personality Characteristics includes 50 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete, with additional time required if performance tasks are administered and scored. Results are intended to inform hypothesis generation and planning (e.g., strengths-based feedback and targeted supports) and should be interpreted in conjunction with developmental history and other assessment data.
