Discussion
Torrance grouped the different subtests of the Minnesota Tests of Creative Thinking (MTCT) into categories. Which of the following represent the categories ?
(1) Verbal tasks using verbal stimuli
(2) Verbal tasks using non-verbal stimuli
(3) Non-verbal tasks
(4) Non-verbal tasks using non-verbal stimuli
Answer: D
The categories are (1), (2) and (3) only.
In grouping the subtests of the Minnesota Tests of Creative Thinking, Torrance used three categories: verbal tasks using verbal stimuli (such as unusual uses and impossibilities), verbal tasks using non-verbal stimuli (such as Ask-and-Guess from a picture), and non-verbal tasks (such as completing incomplete figures or circles). These later became the verbal and figural forms of the Torrance Tests.
Statement (4), 'non-verbal tasks using non-verbal stimuli', is not a separate category: all the non-verbal tasks already fall under (3). Any option that includes (4) or leaves out (1) is therefore wrong.
