Assuming you have bough the Torrance Creativity test with the circles, here’s my adapted scoring sheet. I adapted it to save time on scoring when you are testing large numbers of children; it seems to correlate pretty well with the original test, in scoring for fluency, flexibility and elaboration.
I hope you find it useful!
In return – please simply share something useful of YOURS with others

I have a layered assignment for Mowgli’s Brothers out of the Junior Great Books that I’m willing to share. How do I go about doing that?

Hello, I am interested in your adapted scoring system for the Torrance because I need a time saver in my practice. I cannot open the download because it states that I need a password. Are you aware of this? Is this not available to the general public? Thank you for your time and the effort you put into the scoring system.

I like your “Scoring the Torrance Creativity Test”. That makes the scoring much easier.
One thing I am not sure is if I understand your website message correctly.
In your “Scoring the Torrance Creativity Test – adapted by Jean Edwards”, for scoring originality of the circle, you listed the commonly seen responses for a score = 1.
Does it mean that a response that is not on the list is scored 1?
“Different Perspective, looking from an unusual perspective (e.g. above toilet bowl,
end of a pencil, circle makes body of a cat rather than the head, etc)
and unusual or unconventional ideas: DP =3 points”
Here do you you mean to give 3 pints of bonus for any ” Different Perspective” in addition to the 1 point for originality?
Could you give me an example of how a student’s circle is scored according to your method ?
Thank you very much.

Glad you found the adapted scoring helpful – I’ll put your question on the website so that others can read it too!
1. re you listed the commonly seen responses for a score = 1.
Does it mean that a response that is not on the list is scored 1?
Response:
Correct. All the ones on the list do NOT score anything as they are categorised as very common (i.e. non-creative in this setting) responses.
2.:”Different Perspective, looking from an unusual perspectivee Here do you you mean to give 3 pints of bonus for any ” Different Perspective” in addition to the 1 point for originality?”
Response:
Again, yes. So students get scores for:
fluency (number of responses excluding repeats or meaningless ones);
originality (anything NOT on the list): and
DP (Different perspective – i.e. unconventional or unusual perspective).
Kind regards from New Zealand,
JEAN
