The correlation between risk taking behavior and test results on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) was examined in a group of 47 fourth and fifth grade students identified for a gifted and talented program. The risk-taking check list (DEEP) was developed by the Downington, Pennsylvania Area School District, and includes four creativity rating scales. Students' risk taking behavior was rated by classroom teachers. The other measure of creativity was based on the degree of discrepancy from expected item answering order on the TTCT, Figure A, Activity II, Product Completion. Discrepancy indicated an original or creative response to the test item. The comparison of the DEEP check list scores with the TTCT originality scores yielded a significant positive correlation. (GDC)
