Scores from selected creative thinking tests ( Object Synthesis Test. Alternate Uses Test, Apparatus Test: Drastic and Minor, and Symbol Production Test) and the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (W-G) (subtests: Inference, Recognition of Assumptions, Deduction, Interpretation, Evaluation of Arguments; and total test score) were obtained from each of 100 college undergraduate Ss enrolled in a public speaking course at Butler University. The scores for the 11 subtests and total tests were intercorrelated Low, but significant, correlations were observed between scores on the Alternate Uses Test and (a) W-G total test, (b) W-G Recognition of Assumptions, and (c) W-G Interpretation. These and other significant correlations obtained indicate a relationship between critical thicking measures and creativity measures identified with adaptive flexibility
