Torrance Test of Creative Thinking involves (Convergent/Divergent) thinking.
Divergent Thinking
Research done under TTCT suggest that individuals who are creatively gifted (outperform/underperform) in comparison to intellectually gifted individuals.
Outperform

Different than
According to research wrt to TTCT, deliberate, direct teaching of creative thinking skills do not lead to creative growth. True or False?
False. It leads to creative growth.
Given in TTCT, 4 stages of creative thinking
i) sensing problems, gaps
ii) making guesses
iii) testing guesses, revising, retesting
iv) communicating results
TTCT: When we sense that something is wrong or missing, we experience tension or arousal to relieve that tension and make guesses to fill that gap. True or False?
True
Which theory of intelligence gave systematic evidence that creativity and intelligence are independent traits?
Getzel & Jackson
Creativity and intelligence are highly correlated. T/F
FALSE. Getzel & Jackson’s theory of intelligence gave systematic evidence that creativity and intelligence are independent traits.
“Sensitivity to problem as well as redefinition abilities which include transformations of thought, re-interpretation, freedom from functional fixedness in driving unique solutions.”
What is being defined and by whom?
Definition of creativity by Guilford
Creative thinking is the same as divergent thinking. T/F
(Guilford Model)
Creative Thinking is not the same as Divergent Thinking
Name 6 components of creativity given in Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration, Abstractness of Title, Resistance to Premature Closure
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Component of creativity which is a quantitative representation of units of products
Layman’s: no. of ideas
Fluency
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Name component of creativity which reflects readiness to change behavior to meet changing circumstances and thus, indicates distinct ways in which an individual can respond to a stimulus
Layman’s: Large number of responses, variety
Flexibility
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Component which corresponds to statistically infrequent ideas or unusual applications of ideas
Originality
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Component which reflects expansion of thought to higher level or number of ideas added
Elaboration
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Components which checks if the labelling is concrete or beyond it
Abstractness of Titles
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Component which measures degree of psychological openness. Also explain why it is needed for creativity.
Resistance to Premature Closure
Creative behavior requires a person to consider a variety of information while processing. Hence, require an “open mind”
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Ideational, Expressional, Associational, Word are 4 sub divisions of which component of creativity.
Fluency
Guilford’s Model of Creativity
Fluency where quality is not evaluated and the ability to produce a large number of ideas or responses within a specified period is highlighted. Individuals high on this type of fluency can generate numerous creative thoughts or solutions.
Ideational Fluency
Guilford’s Model
Fluency type with ability to express ideas or responses fluently and articulately. It emphasizes the effective communication of creative thoughts and concepts.
Expressional Fluency
Guilford’s Model
This aspect of fluency relates to the ability to make connections or associations between seemingly unrelated concepts or ideas. Creativity often involves making novel connections between different elements.
Associational Fluency
Guilford’s Model.
Fluency type which refers to the ability to generate a large number of words or verbal expressions that are related to a specific stimulus.
Word Fluency
Guilford’s Flexibility with ability to generate a variety of ideas, responses, or solutions quickly and without much premeditation.
Spontaneous Flexibilty
Guilford’s flexibility with capacity to modify one’s thinking or approach in response to changing circumstances, feedback, or new information.
Adaptive Flexibility
Guilford: Creativity + Yield
term?
Creative Production
A & B which arise from transformation lead to redefinition of a problem. Which two components of Guilford’s model?
Flexibility and Originality
Finding: Creativity measures are weakly related to each other, In fact, they draw upon non-creative skills.
Study was conducted by?
Wallach & Kogan Study
