The tests in Torrance Tests for Creative Thinking can be scored for :

  • A.Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Differentness
  • B.Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration
  • C.Articulacy, Flexibility, Originality, Differentness
  • D.Novelty, Rarity, Differentness, Domain-specificity

Answer: B

The Torrance Tests are scored for Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration.

E. P. Torrance built his tests on Guilford's divergent thinking factors. Fluency is the number of relevant ideas, flexibility the number of different categories they fall into, originality their statistical rarity, and elaboration the amount of detail added to an idea. (Later figural scoring dropped flexibility and added abstractness of titles and resistance to premature closure.)

Differentness, articulacy, novelty, rarity and domain-specificity are not the four scoring dimensions of the tests, so each other option replaces at least one real dimension with an invented one.
