Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT)
The highly reliable Torrance® Tests of Creative Thinking are the most widely used tests of their kind since testing only requires the examinee to reflect upon their life experiences.
Figural TTCT®: Thinking Creatively with Pictures
The Figural TTCT: Thinking Creatively with Pictures is appropriate at all levels, kindergarten through adult. It uses three picture-based exercises to assess five mental characteristics:
- fluency
- elaboration
- originality
- resistance to premature closure
- abstractness of titles
The Figural TTCT is scored using a streamlined scoring procedure. Streamlined scoring provides standardized scores for the mental characteristics listed above as well as for the following creative strengths:
- emotional expressiveness
- storytelling articulateness
- movement or action
- expressiveness of titles
- synthesis of incomplete figures
- synthesis of lines or circles
- internal visualisation
- extending or breaking boundaries
- humour
- richness of imagery
- colorfulness of imagery
- fantasy
- unusual visualisation
The TTCT Figural Norms Guide is required for scoring. It includes national norm tables with standard scores and national percentiles by grade and age for each score area. The tables also show national percentiles for average standard scores, as well as a creativity index developed from the five standardized scores and thirteen creative strengths. The TTCT Figural Scoring Guide is also required.
Verbal TTCT®: Thinking Creatively with Words
Appropriate for first graders through adults, the Verbal TTCT: Thinking Creatively with Words uses six word-based exercises to assess three mental characteristics:
- fluency
- flexibility
- originality
These exercises provide opportunities to ask questions, to improve products, and to “just suppose". Note that the TTCT Verbal Examiner's Kit is required for administration. It contains drawings and stuffed animals.
Two manuals are required for scoring the Verbal TTCT, the TTCT Verbal Scoring Guide and the TTCT Verbal Norms Guide. The TTCT Verbal Norms Guide includes national norm tables with standard scores and national percentiles by grade and age for each score area. The TTCT Verbal Scoring Guide provides an easy-to-use scoring method.
