More than 40 years ago, E. Paul Torrance undertook to study
creativity in students and study whether it would predict their
creative achievements as adults. He and his colleagues wanted to
determine what other factors influence, predict, encourage or
sustain their creativity over time. There has never been a
longitudinal study of creativity of this magnitude. Its findings
will be useful to, and have implications for, several audiences:
parents, teachers, counselors--especially vocational
counselors--university and college instructors, and educational
administrators. The Manifesto for Children was developed on the
basis of the responses of 215 young adults who had attended two
elementary schools in Minnesota from 1958 to 1964. They had been
administered some creativity tests each year, and they were
followed up in 1980. On the basis of their questionnaire responses,
the Manifesto was developed to describe their ongoing struggle to
maintain their creativity and use their strengths to create their
careers and to provide guidance to children. In 1998, they were
followed up to assess their creative achievements and to validate
the Manifesto. Some of the participants had attained eminence,
while others had attained only mediocre careers.
