Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking
The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) are standardized assessments designed to measure creativity in individuals. 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 TTCT includes both verbal and figural components, allowing participants to express their creativity through words and drawings.
The tests are widely used in educational settings and research to identify creative potential in children and adults. Results can help educators tailor programs to foster creativity and innovation, making the TTCT a valuable tool in understanding and enhancing creative abilities.
