Ep.145. A Creative Personality Scale for the Adjective Check List

"A Creative Personality Scale for the Adjective Check List" by Harrison G. GoughSummaryThis research introduces a new 30-item Creative Personality Scale designed for the Adjective Check List (ACL) to identify creative talent. Previous attempts to measure creativity using the ACL and intelligence tests had yielded inconclusive results. By analysing responses from various samples and using diverse criteria for creativity, the developers selected items that significantly correlated with criterion ratings of creativity across different groups. This new scale, incorporating both positive and negative items, demonstrates reliability and moderate validity, suggesting its potential as a useful tool for assessing creative potential.
