Development of Creativity Scale Based on Evaluation Capabilities

From Discrepancy of Evaluation Between Professional and Lay-Person on Creativity of Three Types of Creations

Abstract

In this study, we tentatively defined high and low creativity scores for creative works as the degree of agreement with creativity ratings by art and design professionals, and examined the relationship between high and low creativity scores and general creativity scale (ATTA), and scores on the Creativity Scale for Art Students. The results of an online survey of 46 general public showed that the correlation coefficients between creativity scores on the ATTA and the evaluation capabilities for illustrations (r = −.03) and for clay sculptures (r = .19) were extremely low, but a certain correlation was found with the evaluation capabilities for photographs (r = .33).
