Torrance Tests
The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking are standardized assessments designed to measure creativity in individuals, particularly children and adolescents. Developed by psychologist E. Paul Torrance in the 1960s, these tests evaluate divergent thinking, which is the ability to generate multiple solutions to open-ended problems.
The tests typically include tasks that require participants to think creatively, such as completing unfinished drawings or generating unique uses for common objects. Results from the Torrance Tests can help educators identify students with high creative potential and inform strategies to nurture their creative abilities.
