Resumen

Con el presente trabajo se pretende, por una parte, estudiar la estructura interna del TTCT (Torrance Thinking Creative TTCT), y, por otra, establecer los baremos con el fin de poder utilizar el test en el diagnóstico y ambientes educativos. En el trabajo han participado 649 alumnos (319 niñas y 330 niños) cuyas edades oscilan entre 5 y 12 años de edad, pertenecientes a diferentes colegios de Murcia y Alicante. Los datos apuntan a que el TTCT reúne las características psicométricas exigibles a este tipo de pruebas y su estructura interna responde a tres factores que explican un elevado porcentaje de varianza (73,8%). Los baremos que se ofrecen, por primera vez, en nuestro contexto educativo serán de gran utilidad para la evaluación de la creatividad y la detección de alumnos con altas habilidades intelectuales.
