How IS creativity defined? Why do we value
creativity? Do we measure creativity in students to be able to facilitate
creative growth?
How then do we measure creativity? Should we?
Why? Do we assess to measure creativity, or to identify it? What do we do with
this knowledge? What relationships exist between descriptions of creativity,
and the tools used to measure it? How reliable are popular creativity tests
(e.g. Torrance Tests, Consensual Assessment Tests) in terms of indicating creativity? Are there
any tests that successfully measure the multiple aspects of creativity? How
have tests of creativity changed since they were pioneered? What is the point
of assessing creativity? What is the point of assessment in general – do the
reasons extend to assessment of creativity?
To what extent do creativity
tests predict giftedness? Is creativity a successful predictor of giftedness?
How is giftedness defined? What parallels exist between the definitions of
“gifted people” and definitions of “creative people”?

These are the questions floating around in my head as I wade through a very large pile of literature on the topic. I hope to be able to find some answers.
Do you think I'm asking the right questions?
