Background and Purpose Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) is a well-known and commonly used measure of creativity. However, the TTCT-induced creative hemodynamic brain activity is rarely revealed. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the neural correlates of creative thinking in the setting of a modified version of the figural TTCT adapted for an functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment. Methods We designed a blocked fMRI experiment. Twenty-five participants (11 males, 14 females, mean age $19.9{\pm}1.8$) were asked to complete the partially presented line drawing of the figural TTCT (creative drawing imagery; creative). As a control condition, subjects were asked to keep tracking the line on the screen (line tracking; control). Results Compared to the control condition, creative condition revealed greater activation in the distributed and bilateral brain regions including the left anterior cingulate, bilateral frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital regions as shown in the previous creativity studies. Conclusions The present revealed the neural basis underlying the figural TTCT using fMRI, providing an evidence of brain areas encompassing the figural TTCT. Considering the significance of a creativity test for dementia patients, the neural correlates of TTCT elucidated by this study may be valuable to evaluate the brain function of patients in the clinical field.

The present research investigated the validity and reliability of the Verbal and Figural tests of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking(TTCT). Its potential as a basis of normative data, and differences in children's sex and grade in school were also examined. The subjects of this study were 360 children (180 boys, 180 girls) enrolled in two public elementary schools grades 1-6. Pearson's product-moment coefficient and two-way analysis of variance were used for analyzing data collected from these tests. The present research showed a coefficient of concurrent validity of the TTCT-Verbal test of .40. The coefficient of equivalence from reliability between the TTCT-Verbal test and TTCT-Figural test was .65 (p<.01). Regarding the coefficient of interscorer reliability, the total score of the TTCT-Verbal test was .86 and that of the TTCT-Figural test was .95. The coefficient of intrascorer reliability on the total score of the TTCT-Verbal test was .93 and that of the TTCT-Figural test was .96. Generally, score reliability was .86 to .96 in total score but there were great differences in the reliability of sub-factor scores. There were no significant differences between boys and girls in the distribution of scores on the TTCT-Verbal test and the TTCT-Figural test. There were significant differences between grades (p<.01) on the distribution of total scores and subfactor scores of the TTCT-Verbal Test.

This study explored the creative thinking styles of children according to cluster analysis and examined group differences in the gender of children. The participants consisted of 250 elementary school students living in Seoul, Korea. Data were analyzed by means of cluster analysis and ${\chi}^2$ test. The results from the cluster analysis based on the scores on the sub-factors of TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) suggested the existence of four clusters('Non-creative', 'Divergent creative', 'Elaborate creative, 'Multiple creative'). Additionally, four clusters were found to be differentiated according to gender.

이 연구의 목적은 초등학교와 중학교의 영재학생들을 대상으로 TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking)를 실시하여 창의성 영재를 선발하고, 선발된 창의성 영재들의 창의적 특성들이 초등학생과 중학생 간, 수학영재와 과학영재 간 어떤 차이가 있는가를 밝힘으로써 창의성 영재들의 창의적 특성을 규명해 보려는 것이다. 이를 위해 전라북도교육청 산하 17개 영재교육원 학생 중 수퍼영재교육을 희망한 594명을 대상으로 창의성 영재를 선발, 초등학생과 중학생의 창의성 요인의 차이 검증(t-test), 수학영재와 과학영재의 창의성 요인의 차이검증(t-test), 창의성 영재선발에 영향을 미치는 창의성 요인들의 초 중학생 간 및 수학영재 과학영재 간 차이검증(중다회귀분석)을 하였다. 연구결과, TTCT는 창의성 영재 선발과 탈락을 변별하는 역량이 있으나, 창의성 요인 중 '유창성'과 '독창성', '유창성'과 '정교성' 간에는 각각 .78, .50의 상관계수를 보여 창의성 요인의 고유성이 낮을 가능성이 발견되었다. 또 중학생은 초등학생에 비해 유창성(원 그림)과 정교성 요인(그림구성, 그림완성, 원 그림), 제목의 추상성(그림구성)이 유의하게 낮으며, 과학 영재는 수학영재에 비해 독창성(그림구성)과 정교성(그림구성, 그림완성, 원 그림) 요인에서 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 따라서 창의성 영재 선발을 위한 검사의 타당도를 높이기 위한 방법이 계속 연구되어야 하며, 학년이 높아지면서 창의성이 낮아지는 문제의 해결방법과 교과별 영재의 창의성을 기르기 위한 방안이 모색될 필요가 있다.

We examined the relations between Mathematical Creative Problem Solving Ability Test(MCPSAT: Kim etl. 1997) and Torrance Test of Creative Thinking Figural A (TTCT; adapted for Korea by Kim etl. 1999). The subjects in this study were 31 fifth-grade students. In the analysis of data, frequencies, percentiles, t-test correlation analysis were used. The results of the study are summarized as follows; First, we have the correlations between the originality of general creativity and the three elements--fluency, flexibility, and the total--of mathematical creativity (significant at p<.01). Second, We know the correlations between the total of general creativity and the three elements of mathematical creativity(significant at p<.05).

The subjects of this study were 172 5-year-old children enrolled in a kindergarten located in Daejeon city. Instruments were the K-ABC(1997) to test children's intelligence and the TTCT(1999) to test children's creativity, Data were analyzed by Pearson's R and Canonical R. Results indicated that the relation between K-ABC IQ and TTCT CQ was statistically significant(r=.292, p<.000). This result is at variance with threshold theory where the correlation between intelligence and creativity is predicted to be high for children with IQ below 120, but above that level, the correlations are predicted to be much lower. A significant canonical function(Wilk's =.760, p<.000) was found between the sequential processing scale, achievement scale of K-ABC and elaborateness, resistance to premature closure of TTCT.

This study analyzed children's personality types with the use of the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children(MMTIC: adapted for Korea by Kim, 1993) and examined their relationship to the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking(TTCT-figural, form A) and the Creative Personality Test(CPT: Yim,1997). Subjects were 210 third- and 218 sixth-grade students. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and t-test. Personality types Sensation/Judgment(SJ), Sensation/Perceiving(SP), iNtuition/Thinking(NT) and iNtuition/Feeling(NF) differentiated the eleboration, originality, and flexibility dimensions of creative thinking. There were gender differences in the relation of personality type NF to elaboration and fluency. There were age differences in personality types SP and NF in relation to elaboration. Personality types differentiated between the independence, openness, attachment and adventurousness dimensions of the CPT. Age differences in personality type SP differentiated independence and type NT differentiated attachment dimensions of creative personality.

A creative science writing program was developed, and applied to 2nd grade elementary students. Two 2nd grade elementary school classes in Seoul district were selected for the current study. A Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design was applied. The experimental group adopted the creative science writing program and the control group maintained traditional lectures for 12 classes. TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) figural test and a scientific attitude test were conducted on both groups. According to the analysis, TTCT score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among several subscales of TTCT, elaboration and resistance to premature closure was especially improved. Also, scientific attitude scale of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among subscales of scientific attitude, the creative science writing program was effective on improving students' open-mindedness, critical mindedness, cooperation, voluntariness, and endurance. Gender was not a factor in the improvement of both students' creativity and scientific attitude.

본 연구는 동작의 기본영역이 강조된 통합적 신체표현활동 프로그램을 개발, 실행하여, 본 프로그램 참여가 유아의 창의성 증진에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 충청북도소재 A 병설유치원의 단일연령으로 구성된 2개의 만4세반을 실험집단과 통제집단으로 각각 선정하였으며, 10주간 30회에 걸쳐 통합적 신체표현활동 프로그램을 실시하였다. 창의성은 프로그램 실시 전후에 Torrance의 'Torrance Test of Creative Thinking(TTCT)'를 김영채(2010)가 한국판으로 표준화한 유아 창의성 검사 중 도형검사 A형을 사용하여 측정하였다. 수집된 자료를 대응표본 t-test를 사용하여 분석한 결과, 실험집단의 경우 프로그램 참여 이후 창의성 총점과 유창성 및 개방성 점수가 유의미하게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 반면 공분산 분석을 사용하여 분석한 결과, 창의성 하위차원 중 개방성, 제목의 추상성 및 정교성 점수에서만 실험집단과 통제집단 간의 의미 있는 수준의 차이가 나타났다. 결과적으로 통합적 신체표현활동은 유아의 전반적인 창의성 증진에 효과가 있었으나, 창의성 하위차원에 따라 그 영향은 차별화되는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
