Creativity Levels and their Assessment Methods

Abstract

This article systematically examines the concept of creativity, its main components, and the stages of creativity levels in individuals. The study outlines the criteria for low, medium, and high levels of creativity based on psychological descriptors. The article also analyzes widely used psychodiagnostic methods for assessing creativity, such as the Torrance Tests, Guilford Tests, Amabile’s Consensus Rating Technique, and portfolio analysis, based on scientific principles. The practical application level, advantages, and limitations of each method are presented with both statistical and qualitative descriptions. The article concludes with pedagogical strategies aimed at developing students' creative competencies. The findings offer clear recommendations for fostering creative thinking in students and effectively assessing their creativity.
