Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking

The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking are assessments designed to measure a person’s creative abilities. They evaluate skills like originality, flexibility, and elaboration through activities such as generating ideas, drawing, or completing prompts. The goal is to understand how creatively someone thinks and problem-solves. The tests are used in educational and research settings to identify potential in areas that value innovation and original thinking. They focus on assessing divergent thinking—the capacity to produce many different ideas—and provide insights into an individual’s creative potential.
