- The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking - Figural or Verbal: Which One Should We Use?

Baer (2009) claimed that the two versions are like two completely different IQ tests because they are unrelated, e”
- Domain Specificity and the Limits of Creativity Theory (2012, background): “It is precisely this assumption that has made investigations into possible links between creativity and mental illness so problematic (Baer, 2011).”
- Creativity assessment in psychological research: (Re)setting the standards. (2019, background): “…limited domain-generality of creative performance across product-based tasks (e.g., Barbot, 2018a; Barbot, Besançon, & Lubart, 2016), across tasks within the same domain of activity (e.g., Baer, 2011), and even across alternate forms of the same task (Reiter-Palmon, Forthmann, & Barbot, 2019).”
