Purposes Designed as an inventory of activities and accomplishments “generally” considered to be creative and grouped into six categories: literature, music, crafts, art, math and science, and performing arts. Characteristics Listening to One's Inner Voice Manual Poor No manual, published as an article. Validity Fair Data were collected from 239 college students, freshmen through graduate students and then intuitively divided among six subscales. Reliability Fair Internal consistency ranges from .63 to .89 for the six scales. Utility Good Untimed this instrument can be administered to a group by any professional in about 20-30 minutes. It seems easy to administer and score. Interpretation Fair The article offers little support for the interpretation and application of the results. There is a brief explanation of and definition of the scores which is adequate for a research article but not general application of an instrument. There are 90 items. Propriety Poor Given that this represents a different approach to assessment, the inventory would have to be modified for different populations; more work is needed. Reviews & Related Lit CCL: With more development this could have been a useful instrument. CCL Home Page    Copyright © 2002 Center For Creative Learning, Inc.    Back to Index    Next Test
