The highly reliable Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking are the most widely used tests of their kind since testing only requires the examinee to reflect upon their life experiences. These tests invite examinees to draw and give a title to their drawings (pictures) or to write questions, reasons, consequences, and different uses for objects (words). These instruments can effectively assist with the identification of creatively gifted and talented students. The TTCT is used as a part of gifted matrices in districts across the US, especially in multicultural settings, and for special populations around the world. Published in two equivalent forms, Forms A and B, the Figural and Verbal TTCT can be used for pre- and post-testing.

Figural TTCT: Thinking Creatively with Pictures
The Figural TTCT is appropriate at all levels, kindergarten through adult. It uses three picture-based exercises to assess five mental characteristics:

• fluency• elaboration• originality• resistance to premature closure• abstractness of titles
Streamlined scoring provides standardized scores for the mental characteristics listed above as well as for the following creative strengths:
  • emotional expressiveness • unusual visualization • internal visualization
  • storytelling articulateness • extending or breaking boundaries • movement or action
  • expressiveness of titles • humor • synthesis of incomplete figures
  • richness of imagery (figures) • colorfulness of imagery • synthesis of lines or circles
  • fantasy
Verbal TTCT: Thinking Creatively with Words
Suitable for grade one through adult, the Verbal TTCT uses six word-based exercises to assess three mental characteristics:
• fluency• flexibility• originality
The Verbal TTCT exercises provide opportunities to ask questions, to improve products, and to "just suppose.” To learn more about how the Figural and Verbal tests are scored (local or with STS Scoring Service) click the Scoring Services tab above.

With Figural TTCT Streamlined Scoring, two different norm types are available: grade-related norms and age-related norms. Grade-related norms for the Figural TTCT use one set of norms for each of the grades for which the test is appropriate, including the adult level. Age-related norms are based on the typical age for grades in which the Figural TTCT can be used. They range from five to eighteen years and beyond. Required for local scoring, the Figural TTCT Norms-Technical Manual includes national norm tables with standard scores and national and local percentiles by grade and age for each score area. The tables also show national percentiles for average standard scores, as well as a creativity index developed from the five standardized scores and thirteen creative strengths. A Streamlined Scoring Guide is also required for local scoring.

The Verbal TTCT can be scored locally or by STS. If a school chooses to score the test locally, the Manual for Scoring and Interpreting Results provides an easy-to-use scoring method. The Verbal TTCT uses one set of grade-related norms for each of the grades which is age appropriate, including the adult level. Age-related norms are based on the typical age for each of the grades in which the Verbal TTCT may be used. They range from age six to adult. The Examiner's Kit contains drawings and stuffed animals required for administering the Verbal TTCT. The kit has contents for both Verbal Form A & B tests.

The Verbal Norms-Technical Manual includes national norm tables with standard scores and national and local percentiles by grade and age for each score area. Both manuals are required for local scoring
