| Definition |
Addresses creativity in literary production, publications, music, production and performance, crafts, graphic media, dance, and drama. |
| 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. |
