Abstract

This paper will analyze the results of the adaptation of Torrance’s Test for Creative Thought. The study has been done on a sample of students from the first educational levels. After revising the theoretical presuppositions of the Test, we present the results of the reliability and validity indexes for each of the single proofs of the test as well as for the the test as a whole. The sample consisted of 232 students, 127 pre-schoolers and 105 elementary school pupils belonging to two different institutions. The reliability index for each proof and for the whole test, established by means of an inter-class correlation coefficient and an internal consistency index, was high. As to validity, it must be emphasized that there are significant relationships between the different aspects assessed by the Torrance Test and other scales used to rate creativity.
