Thinking Creatively with Sounds and Words (TCSW) - The TCSW is a battery of two tests: Sounds and Images (SI) and Onomatopoeia and Images (OI). The TCSW battery measures the originality of responses to abstract sounds and onomatopoeic words. A CD provides the stimuli. Both the SI and the OI involve imagery activities that also assess creativity.

The TCSW battery is available in two levels, Level I for Grades 3 to 12 and Level II for adults. Each level has two equivalent forms, Forms A and B, for pre- and posttesting.

Authors: E. Paul Torrance, Joe Khatena and Bert F. Cunnington.
