Characteristics Generating Ideas Listening to One's Inner Voice Manual Fair The manual presents a discussion of target populations and uses, directions for administration, and citations of research. It lacks details and careful organization. Validity Poor Information not available. Reliability Fair Stability over 10 weeks at the college level was .61 to .73. based on a sample of 200 students. Estimates are not available for junior-senior high. Utility Good This instrument can be administered to groups by any professional. It is untimed and requires 10-15 minutes. The respondent answers yes or no to a series of 67 statements. Instructions are clear and appropriate. Interpretation Fair Norms are based on 311 cases at the junior and senior high school level and 374 cases at the college level. The instrument is properly considered experimental. Limited research data make score interpretation and application difficult. Propriety Poor No data available Reviews & Related Lit CCL: While the items are clear, they seem to tap cognitive style or personal type preferences more than creative ability.
