Identifying and Assessing Creativity as a Component of Giftedness
Kaufman, James C.; Plucker, Jonathan A.; Russell, Christina M.
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v30 n1 p60-73 Feb 2012
Most theories of giftedness include creativity as a central component. Creativity assessment has a key role, therefore, in measuring giftedness. This article reviews the state of the creativity assessment, from divergent thinking tests (including the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking) to the consensual assessment technique to rating scales and self assessments. Despite the many flaws present in every type of creativity measurement, there are compelling reasons for including creativity as part of a gifted assessment battery.
