Understanding the Climate for Creativity and Innovation
Establishing a work environment that is conducive to creativity and innovation is a key priority for organizations of all kinds. A variety of measures have been developed to assess the climate and culture for creativity and innovation and some limited literature is available that reviews these. Those sources that do review these assessments usually include only a handful of measures and their reviews are brief. The purpose of this article is to c…

While the ability to solve complex problems creatively is among the most important skills for contemporary jobs, understanding individual differences how people prefer to engage in individual or collaborative problem-solving becomes increasingly important. VIEW an assessment of problem-solving style has been specifically designed to measure these preferences at the intersection of creativity and problem-solving. This article summarizes the progre…
Assessing the Work Environment for Creativity and Innovation
This article was stimulated by a review of instruments assessing creative and innovative social environments seventeen years ago. This stands alone as the only published, comprehensive, comparative review of multiple instruments aimed at this conceptual space. Although this review provided an important contribution to the literature, there are a number of critical conceptual issues that should be considered when reviewing assessments of this kind…
The Situational Outlook Questionnaire
The Situational Outlook Questionnaire has been in use for many years as an assessment of the climate that supports change, innovation, and creativity. This study reports the descriptive statistics, internal consistency, factor structure, and other psychometric results from a sample of 4,730 respondents. Further areas for improvement of the questionnaire and assessment approach are identified
Cognitive Styles in Creative Leadership Practices
Cognitive Styles in Creative Leadership Practices
This study investigated the relationship between two measures used to assist change and transformation efforts, the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory which assesses style or manner of cognition and problem-solving, not level or capability, and the Leadership Practices Inventory which measures the extent to which leaders exhibit certain leadership behaviors associated with accomplishing extraordinary results. These two measures of level and sty…
Situational Outlook Questionnaire
The foundations of a multidimensional measure designed to assess creativity and change are presented. The reliability and construct validity of the Situational Outlook Questionnaire were tested using a sample of 1,111 subjects. Cronbach alpha and exploratory factor analysis supported reliability and construct validity. The study identified areas where the Situational Outlook Questionnaire can be improved and areas for further study with the quest…

Creativity Training and the Stability and Internal Consistency of the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory
In his 1986 analytic review of the first ten years of research on adaption-innovation theory, Mudd commented on the importance of continued research on the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory. Suggestions pertinent to the present study involved an examination of the stability of the instrument as well as the test-retest reliability of the full scale and subscales. A Lindquist Type III analysis of variance was used to examine the influence of cre…
The Gregorc Style Delineator
The primary purpose of the studies was to examine the relationship between the Gregorc Style Delineator and Kirton's adaptive-innovative distinction. The structure and internal consistency of the Style Delineator were also examined. Two samples (N = 109, N = 135) were given the Style Delineator and the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory. Results showed that the Style Delineator's sequential types and random types (irrespective of concreteness o…
Adaption-Innovation and the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking
Kirton has asserted that his measure of creative style, Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory, is discrete or orthogonal to level measures of creativity. This study used a well-established measure, the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, on a relatively larger sample than in previous studies. Scores for 132 (40 men, 92 women) college students on Kirton's measure were significantly correlated with scores on Torrance's Fluency, Flexibility, and Ori…
