Should Creativity Tests Be Administered under Testlike Conditions? An Empirical Study of Three Alternative Conditions.

Hattie, John

Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n1 p87-98 Feb 1980

Three conditions for administering creativity tests by Torrance and by Wallach and Kogan were compared: (1) untimed, gamelike; (2) conventional testlike; and (3) administration of measures under testlike conditions on two adjacent days, using the second testing as the predictor. The conventional testlike condition seems optimal. (Author/CP)
