The Torrance Test of Creativity was developed in 1962 by Paul Torrance.
It has thee components:
1. Thinking Creatively with Pictures measures creative thinking using three picture-based exercises to assess five mental characteristics: fluency, originality, elaboration, abstractness of titles, and resistance to closure (i.e., openness).
2. The Figural TTCT contains abstract pictures and the examinee is requested to state what the image might be.
3. The Verbal TTCT: contains presents the examinee with a situation and gives the examinee the opportunity to ask questions, to improve products, and to “just suppose.”

Here are some examples of test questions:

Try to think of as many ideas as possible.

Activity 2: Just suppose that people could transport themselves from place to place with just a wink of the eye or a twitch of the nose. What might be some things that would happen as a result? You have 3 minutes.
Activity 3: Add lines to the incomplete figures below to make pictures out of them. Try to tell complete stories with your pictures. Give your pictures titles. You have 3 minutes.
Activity 4: Add details to the shapes below to make pictures out of them. Make the diamond a part of any picture you make. Try to think of pictures no one else will think of. Add details to tell complete stories with your pictures. Give your pictures titles. You have 3 minutes.
