Question

Differentiate between creativity tests and intelligence tests.

Answer 1

Creativity test: Features of the creativity test are open-ended, freedom to use one’s imagination and express it in original ways, divergent thinking, the ability to see new relationships, guess causes and consequences, and put things in a new perspective. Creativity tests contain words, figures, actions, and sounds.

Intelligence tests: They are closed-ended, convergent thinking; they assess memory, logical reasoning, accuracy, perceptual ability, and clear thinking. No scope for originality, spontaneity, or imagination.
