Abstract:

Reviews findings on personality and biographical
traits of creative persons and describes some creativity assessment
techniques. Creative persons are generally characterized as being high in
self-confidence, being aware of their nonconformist and creative traits,
possessing a high energy level, preferring complexity, having a childlike
playfulness and good sense of humor, and having well-developed
artistic/aesthetic interests. Personality-based creativity tests for high
school students and adults include the Alpha Biographical Inventory, the
Adjective Check List and the How Do You Think test; for children, the tests
include the Group Inventory for Finding Creative Talent (GIFT), the
Pennsylvania Assessment of Creative Tendency, and the Children's Reactive
Curiosity Scale. Emphasis is placed on the usefulness of the GIFT measure as
an assessment and screening device in elementary school students. (18 ref)
