What is the Khatena-Torrance Creative Perception Inventory?
This instrument is used to measure artistic inclination, intelligence, individuality, sensitivity, initiative and self-strength; imagination, appeal to authority, self-confidence and awareness of others.
How could schools use this inventory?
This is an obvious instrument that many educators could use to measure many various aspects of creativity or creative potentials that their students maintain. This could even be useful to give to the students in the beginning of the year as a way to get to know them and become familiar with their strengths and weaknesses from the very beginning. This would enable me to become familiar with student characteristics and possibly, behaviors as well. I strongly believe that this measure would work with my 5th graders considering this measure is used for people ranging from 12 years and older. Identifying each student’s strengths and weaknesses on an individual level better assists me in designing appropriate lesson plans and techniques to teach each student according to their creative potential.
