intellect model as conceptual framework. This creativity
test battery consists of six verbal subtests, namely word

beginnings, anagrams, three-word-sentences, thing

categories, unusual uses, and consequences. The primary
traits measured in this test are fluency, flexibility, and

originality in thinking. The test can be used for the age
of ten years upward. The sum of the standard scores on

each subtest can be converted into a creativity quotient.
