What is the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT)?
The TTCT requires responses that are mainly drawing or pictorial in nature. However, it does not measure artistic talent nor is artistic talent required to do well on the instrument. The TTCT requires students to use their imagination, solve problems, think of new ideas, and elaborate on their ideas. The TTCT is administered in one 45-minute session. The resulting score is reported as a national percentile ranking to parents in the Creativity section on the Data Collection Instrument (DCI). The 90th percentile is the qualifying score. The TTCT is only administered once every two years.
