Abstract

: There is disagreement whether creativity is a unidimensional or multidimensional trait. The dimensionality of creativity is important to understand the mind's cognitive functioning; thus aiding the development of human potential. Much of this dimensionality debate is related to the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). Confirmatory factor analyses were thus conducted with data from 500 Grade-6 students, and several factor models were tested. The findings of this study show that the TTCT consists of 2 factors rather than a single factor, contrary to the majority of research on this subject.
