Divergent thinking tests are given more often than any other test
of creativity .They are not actually tests of creativity per se but
are instead assessments of creative potential. They are based on
sound scientific theory and have been improved many times over the
years. This volume describes the theory supporting the use of
divergent thinking tests. It also presents specific research
findings. It describes what has been discovered about divergent
thinking in the past 10 years. Unlike other volumes, it focuses on
divergent thinking rather than attempting to cover all of
creativity assessment. It gives the specifics of research so the
validity of the claims can be easily determined. Each chapter is
based on a specific research project so each stands alone. A large
number of topics are covered, including the impact of experience,
the role of time in creative thinking, differences among various
tests of divergent thinking, the use of new scoring methods, and
the relationship of divergent thinking with other facets of the
creative process.
