  • Summary

    This chapter provides an overview of creativity assessment, which is typically grouped into four different types or areas: creative processes, creative persons, creative products, and creative environments. The most widely used, as well as newly developed, creativity measures in each area are summarized and analyzed with regard to their reliability and validity evidence. Strengths and weaknesses of creativity assessment as a whole are also provided at the end of the chapter to help researchers and educators better understand the current state of creativity assessment and needed future research.
