The death of creativity measurement has been greatly exaggerated:Current issues, recent advances, and future directions in creativity assessment

Abstract

Current work on creativity is based on methodologies which either are psychometric in nature or were developed in response to perceived weaknesses of creativity measurement. However, psychometric perspectives on creativity are still a vibrant and vital area of study. Considerable evidence of validity (or lack thereof) has been gathered for a diverse set of instruments and assessment techniques, and the resulting improvement in measurement quality has opened the door to several exciting areas of research. We review some of the current issues, describe recent advances, and suggest future directions for psychometric approaches to creativity research.
