The relationship of scores on the Rorschach Inkblot Test and the Torrance Tests of Creative thinking, Unusual Uses: a preliminary study.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between the Rorschach and the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking: Unusual Uses. Each test was administered to 39 males and 11 females. Four scores were recorded for each subject: a Rorschach Creativity score (using Holt's Creativity Scale) and three Torrance scores (Originality, Flexibility, and Fluency). Pearson product-moment coefficients were calculated to determine the relationship of the Rorschach score and the three Torrance scores. All of the correlations were statistically significant. The Rorschach Creativity score significantly correlated with originality (£ = .63, £~.0001); with flexibility (£ = .73, £<.0001); and with fluency (£ = .69, £<.0001). This study may contribute to the idea that the Rorschach and the Torrance could be used as a measure of creativity.
