创造性思惟潜能测验的编制与试用

THE CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF TESTS OF CREATIVE POTENTIALS IN THINKING

创造性思惟潜能测验的作用,在于探测儿童创造性思惟潜在能力发展的可能性。本测验曾对城乡二小学224名儿童进行初测、复测与口试,在量与质方面均表明测验效度颇高;并发现几个优秀儿童,思惟潜能较强,对问题反应灵敏、独出心裁,富有创造性。其道德判断亦较公平合理。对这样品学兼优的儿童,拟继续研究其发展的倾向,俾可为我们社会主义祖国现代化建设培植人才的科学根据。

For exploring children’s creative potentials in thinking,a battery oftests has recently been constructed with such subtests as association,genera-lization,reasoning,number series,mathematical comprehension,problem-solving,moral judgment,and so forth.All these tests involve both convergent anddivergent thinking;the former emphasizes mathematical questions and thelatter stresses the questions concerning self-expressions. These tests were repeatedly applied with different forms to 224 schoolchildren.The findings show high validity of the tests,as correlated with othermeasures.Several superior children have been discovered for their unusualthinking abilities,characterized by uniqueness,novelty,and originality;theyhave also demonstrated their adequate judgement on human behavior inaccordance with moral principles. Such cases will be continually studied for the purpose of cultivating theirtalents,based on scientific research,so that they will be able not only topromote the four modernizations of our Socialist China,but also to benefitmankind as a whole.
