Creativity tests measure specific cognitive processes such as thinking divergently, making associations, constructing and combing broad categories, or working on many ideas simultaneously.
8 styles:

Creativity is the result of the relation between
the person that is marked as creative, the evaluator who provides that judgment the social context in which evaluation happens.
(Westmeyer, 1998)

Tanja, aged 14
I drew a bear standing on two legs and playing with a ball. He throws the ball over a very low tree, low as he himself. But that tree in fact is not small, but he is very big, the biggest bear alive. Lonely, without company, he goes to take his ball that he made in order to be big enough for him. The bear, a dangerous animal, and in addition to that if he is the biggest in the world, cannot make friends as some other kinds of animals. He remains alone with his ball.

Example No. 1: LIVING ROOM (Jana, girl, aged 13)
In my grandma’s house, on the ground floor, there is a room that I will always
remember. In that room, playing, I spent the first years of my childhood, and that is
why I have nice memories about it.
I made my first steps in it, spoke my first words and learned to recognise colours and
shapes. In my favourite corner, there was a big blue armchair where my granny often
sat and told me bedtime stories, swinging me gently in her lap. I would also usually fall
asleep there together with my granny, and woke up again the next day in her warm
embrace. In front of it there was a shelf with the picture of me, my mom and dad and a
big lamp. I had always loved that lamp. While I was young, my dream was to grow tall
enough and reach for that lamp. Next to it, there was a big picture of a girl praying for
something. I kept asking granny who was in the picture, but she just smiled
mysteriously. Beneath it was a small table where there were always fresh flowers
picked in our garden.
Today when I enter the room, only the most beautiful memories stir inside of me. I
slowly walk on the black-and-white tiles and come closer to the lamp on the shelf. I
remember my childhood dream and light it with a smile.

Simultaneous verbal and graphic use of TCT-DP
Study: Qualitative Analysis Of Creative Products Of Primary School Pupils by Slavica Ševkušić* & Slavica Maksić, Institute for Educational Research, Belgrade, Serbia
Pupils wrote a story about the drawing as their solution of TCT-DP
Connections revealed between the tale, indicator of verbal creativity, and scores obtained on TCT-DP, indicator of graphic creativity.
![Page 56: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Qualitative story analysis
could be valid method of measuring creativity and that it can be used as a way to improve the quantitative measures of creative products of pupils.
contributes to the more complete description of a creative product than quantitative measures, because it shows the variety and richness of the components involved in a creative product.
![Page 57: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Method: Narrative analysis
Narrative analysis is scientific procedure of studying language structures based on the assumption that objects of reality are grounded in language, its structures and grammar as well as the ways of its usage.
Evaluation: searching for creative format of the story, meanings and components that were built in it, which could point out to the creative expression of pupils.
![Page 58: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Criteria are applied most often:
• who are the characters
• whether the text has the beginning, the middle and the end
• whether it is oriented towards the past
• whether it has a linear sequence
• whether it has a plot
• whether it makes sense to the person telling it
• variations that can raise the tension in the story
(Denzin, 1989).
![Page 59: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Evaluation of the stories (N=151)
The creativity of stories was evaluated independently by 2 qualified evaluators (a psychologist and a pedagogue).
1. Using global-synthetic approach (based on the first impression), 20% of stories was singled out (1st evaluator), that is, 30% (2nd evaluator).
2. Through discussion and clarification of meanings, evaluators singled out 14 most creative stories, which comprises nearly 10% of evaluated stories.
![Page 60: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Structure of results
1) Characteristics of linear and non-linear format of the story;
2) Creative components of stories in both formats;
3) The link between evaluation of story creativity and scores obtained on TCT-DP.
![Page 61: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Linear format of the story
• linear timeline • regular, expected sequence of events• participants are most often people• events are oriented towards the past • good composition (part-whole ratio;
introduction, elaboration and conclusion)
• type: once upon a time...
![Page 62: Andrea K árpáti Fulbright Research Scholar at NIU, School of Arts](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813ff8550346895dab28d7/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Creative components of linear format
– detailed, rich descriptions– elegant sentences, stylistic figures of
speech – creating atmosphere, emotional
experiences– responding to the “topic”– successfully guided narration – taking a moral stand (what good is,
what happiness is...)

enough and reach for that lamp. Next to it, there was a big picture of a girl praying for
something. I kept asking granny who was in the picture, but she just smiled
mysteriously. Beneath it was a small table where there were always fresh flowers
picked in our garden.
Today when I enter the room, only the most beautiful memories stir inside of me. I
slowly walk on the black-and-white tiles and come closer to the lamp on the shelf. I
remember my childhood dream and light it with a smile.

Non-linear format of the story
• sequence, meanings and logic of events are irregular, unpredictable or unclear
• events are placed in the future• sudden, dramatic turns, unexpected resolution• there is a tension between text elements (for
example, between the title and the story)• participants are often imaginary creatures or
animals • participants have non-stereotypical thoughts,
feelings and behaviour

Creative components of non-linear format
- existence of unreal- connecting the non-connectable- unusual, non-stereotypical solutions- atypical word meaning, neologisms- multi-perspectiveness- humour- taking a critical attitude (what is not
good, what could be better)

Tanja, aged 14
I drew a bear standing on two legs and playing with a ball. He throws the ball over a very low tree, low as he himself. But that tree in fact is not small, but he is very big, the biggest bear alive. Lonely, without company, he goes to take his ball that he made in order to be big enough for him. The bear, a dangerous animal, and in addition to that if he is the biggest in the world, cannot make friends as some other kinds of animals. He remains alone with his ball.

Results of qualitative analysisindicate that…
• essential characteristics of creativity are recognised in larger measure in non-linear format and its components, while the influence of school curriculum as the context in which creativity is encouraged is perceived in the linear.
• significance of broader conception of creativity which is defined as the novel and personally meaningful interpretation of experiences, actions, and events (Beghetto & Kaufman, 2007).

Conclusions• It is difficult to explain why something was evaluated as
“creative”, and something else as “non-creative”.
• It is difficult for different evaluators to have the same relation towards the actual product if they are guided by the defined criteria, because the characteristics of an actual product never exactly match the previously planned categories.
• It is more useful for evaluation of a creative product to clarify the subjective meanings of independent evaluators and to reach an agreement on these meanings for an actual product, than the previously developed criteria for evaluation of creativity.

Some implications for school syllabus
• The need for introducing creative writing as a special subject in, with the aim of nurturing pupils’ creativity.
• Pupils to get introduced with different narrative formats and components of creative writing (the linear narrative format is encouraged in a larger degree in school).
