Evidence for Validity of “Your Style of Learning and Thinking”
Responses of 124 subjects to Your Style of Learning and Thinking, using What Kind of Person Are You, Personal-Social Motivation Inventory, Something About Myself and the Preconscious Activity Scale as criteria, show subjects who have a right-hemispheric-specialization score above median also have a significantly higher mean than those who score below the median on three of the four criteria ( ns = 62)
Black Students' Personality Traits Associated with Originality and Elaboration
Using a multidimensional model of creativity, a study was made of the personality traits that differentiate black subjects high on figural originality and elaboration from those who are low. To 392 black undergraduates we administered Figural Form A of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking and questionnaires, What Kind of Person Are You and Something About Myself. Using the upper and lower 27% for an item analysis, 10 and 12 items differentiate…
Creative Performance among Siblings of Various Ordinal Birth Positions
Torrance's rests of Thinking Creatively With Pictures and Words, Forms A were administered to 9 sets of 4 brothers in Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 who were a little over a year apart from each other. Analysis showed that the second-born performed significantly better on both tests
School Conformity and its Relationship to Creativity
Torrance Tests of Creativity, Figural and Verbal, Form A were given to junior high school students with and without behaviorally connected school offenses. A single classification analysis of variance indicated that scores on verbal flexibility and verbal originality were significantly related to school offenses
Personality Traits Associated with Originality and Elaboration
Using a multidimensional model of creativity, a study was made of the personality traits that differentiate subjects high on figural originality from those who are low and those high on figural elaboration from those who are low. 196 college undergraduates were administered Figural Form A of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking and Something About Myself questionnaire. Using the upper and lower 27% for an item analysis, 11 items differentiated…
Differences in Creativity among Homogeneous Groups of Pupils Using Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking
4 groups of students in Grade 8 ( N = 245) grouped by ability on the Stanford Achievement Test were given Torrance Tests of Thinking Creatively With Pictures, Form A to assess creativity. Children above average in ability scored higher on fluency and flexibility than low, average, and superior groups
Creative Behavior and Achievement in Mathematics
Kaltsounis and Stephens (1973) gave 184 Ss in Grades 4 through 6 the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, Verbal and Nonverbal, Form A and Seeing Through Arithmetic Tests (STAT). There were significant correlations between verbal originalitg and all mathematics measures. The present study assessed the correlation between creativity and arithmetic achievement as measured by a subjective evaluation of srudent's performance in mathematics. Ss were (…

Race, Socioeconomic Status and Creativity
Torrance's Thinking Creatively With Pictures, Form A was administered to 52 black and 59 white eighth grade children of lower and middle socioeconomic status respectively. Black lower-class children performed significantly better on the measures of fluency and originality
Effect of Sound on Creative Performance
Scores on simple creativity tasks were compared for the following sound conditions: quiet, speech, music, and industrial sound. Ss performed better with the music condition than with the industrial sound condition
Differences in Verbal Creative Thinking Abilities between Deaf and Hearing Children
Fluency, flexibility, and originality scores were obtained from Thinking Creatively With Words, Form A, given to 418 deaf and hearing children in Grades 4, 5 and 6. These divergent thinking scores were higher for deaf children. Fluency scores were dependent upon hearing status, grade level, and sex but not in interaction with each other. Flexibility scores were independent of hearing status, sex, and grade level. Originality scores were dependent…
