In regard to the relationship between Torrance test scores and intelligence test scores :

  • A.there is a pattern of very high correlation
  • B.the relationship is substantial but only in children
  • C.there is a pattern of low correlations
  • D.there is a significant relationship but only in the elderly

Answer: C

Torrance test scores and intelligence scores show a pattern of low correlations.

The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking measure divergent thinking: fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. Studies comparing them with IQ tests usually find modest correlations, commonly around 0.2 to 0.3, which supports the view that creativity and intelligence are related but distinct abilities (with a threshold of moderate intelligence often proposed).

A very high correlation would mean the tests measure the same thing. There is no consistent finding that the relationship is substantial only in children or significant only in the elderly.
