Q1Match the four components of creativity used in the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) with their meanings. List I (Component) 1. Fluency 2. Flexibility 3. Originality 4. Elaboration List II (Meaning) P. Producing many different categories of ideas Q. Adding details that develop an idea further R. Producing a large number of ideas S. Producing unusual or novel ideas
Torrance, building on Guilford's divergent-thinking work, defined fluency as quantity of ideas (R), flexibility as variety of categories (P), originality as novelty (S), and elaboration as the development of detail (Q).
Q2Consider the following statements about identifying gifted learners in a Class III classroom: 1. Reliance only on a single IQ cut-off score is sufficient to label a child as gifted. 2. Multiple criteria including teacher observation, work samples, and creativity tasks give a more reliable identification. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Modern guidance, including NCERT and NCF positions, treats single IQ cut-offs as narrow and culturally biased. Multiple criteria — observation, products, creativity tasks, parent input — give a fairer picture of a primary-grade gifted learner.
Q3Identify the option that best describes J. P. Guilford's contribution to the study of creativity in the school context.
Guilford's 1967 Structure of Intellect introduced convergent thinking — converging on one solution — and divergent thinking — generating many varied solutions, which became the foundation of creativity assessment in schools.
Q4In the classical Stanford-Binet tradition popularised by Lewis Terman, an intelligence quotient of how many and above was historically used as a rough threshold to label a learner as 'gifted' for early school identification studies?
Terman's classical work used roughly 130 and above on the Stanford-Binet — about two standard deviations above the mean of 100 — as the historical threshold for the gifted band, though current practice favours multi-criteria identification.
Q5Which of the following classroom signals would a Class IV teacher LEAST reliably treat as evidence of creative thinking in a learner?
Verbatim reproduction tests recall, not divergent or original thinking. The other three signals — unusual relevant questioning, novel procedure suggestion, and combining familiar ideas — map directly onto fluency, flexibility, and originality.
