How to Measure the Creative Potential of Today’s Students

The time has come to bring public attention to the prevailing problem of academic achievement and human potential in students of all ages. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking® (TTCT) were designed by one of the most respected scholars of our time, Dr. E. Paul Torrance, whose work at the University of Minnesota and the University of Georgia became a guiding light in studies of creative potential and human behavior.

It is a dismaying fact that relatively few educators and parents are acquainted with his Tests of Creative Thinking. The Torrance Tests provide directions for administering and scoring student responses that will show creative potential in any field of special talent.

If you wonder how you or your students rank in terms of creative potential, look to the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking for an academic, well researched assessment of creative thinking and behavior. Identifying and serving the educational needs of creatively talented students can provide answers for many serious problems of the educational experience.
