Creative and critical thinking: Independent or overlapping components? (2018, unknown): “These creative dimensions were first proposed by Guilford (1960) and later developed by Torrance (1966, 1990) in his creative figural and verbal tests, which have been validated in different parts of the world (Almeida et al., 2008; Kim, 2006; Primi et al., 2013; Wechsler 2004a, 2004b).”
Can Traditional Divergent Thinking Tests Be Trusted in Measuring and Predicting Real-World Creativity? (2011, background): “Subscales are so highly intercorrelated (0.74 to 0.80) that each of them does not provide meaningfully different information (Almeida et al., 2008; Clapham, 1998; Feldhusen & Goh, 1995; Kim, 2006; Mansfield et al., 1978).”
Subjective scoring of divergent thinking: Examining the reliability of unusual uses, instances, and consequences tasks. (2011, background): “In an analysis of several data sets, Almeida et al. (2008) found many differences according to task and method, which again indicates a lack of generality.”
