Description
What might be gleaned from relationships among creative-thinking abilities and problem-solving styles of talented students? Profiles of over 100 high school athletes, science students, and visual artists were examined. Results indicated significant relationships between the TTCT Verbal with the TTCT Figural. Little if any relationship was observed between creative thinking on either TTCT instrument and students problem-solving styles, as measured by VIEW. Some observed relationships differed by talent area. This session presents evidence for the psychometric qualities of these instruments across domains. It also highlights the value of individuality through the case studies of nine of these talented students.
