Measurement of creativity

About a decade ago the National Center on the Gifted and Talented identified more than one hundred techniques to assess creativity. Indeed a variety of instruments and procedures have been devised to evaluate creativity. This stressed the need to organise conceptually the different ways in which creativity can be measured. Creativity is assessed either as an actual behaviour or disposition or as a potential skill or attitude. Furthermore, creativity can be measured with respect either to the cognitive processes which are involved or to the personality traits which are associated to it
