Which among the following is not a feature of Guilford's test of divergent thinking ?
Answer: C
The one not a feature of Guilford's divergent thinking tests is Language production.
J. P. Guilford distinguished convergent thinking, finding the single correct answer, from divergent thinking, producing many possible answers, which he linked with creativity. Divergent thinking tests, such as listing unusual uses for a brick, are scored for fluency (number of responses), flexibility (variety of categories), originality (unusual responses) and elaboration (detail).
Originality, fluency and elaboration are therefore scoring features. Language production is not one of them.
