Book Synopsis
There has never been a longitudinal study of creativity of this magnitude--a 40-year study of creative achievement in adulthood of individuals who had been given creativity tests in childhood.
Booknews
Torrance (educational psychology, measurement, and research, U. of Georgia) reports on a 40-year study of creativity that began with all students in two Minneapolis elementary schools taking the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking once a year from 1958 through 1964. Follow- up data were collected in 1979-80, and again in 1998 to assess the correlation between test results and life course. Respondents describe only their activities since 1980. Annotation c.
