AT A GLANCE:
In 1966, E. Paul Torrance and his associates invented the
“Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking”. This test
helped shatter the theory that IQ tests alone were sufficient to gauge real
intelligence. The tests solidified what heretofore was only conceptual –
namely that creative levels can be scaled and then increased through
practice.
In addition to developing the most widely used
tests of creativity, Torrance also created the Future Problem Solving
Program and developed the Incubation Model of Teaching. Source:
