Abstract
The tests used in the research reported here were based on those used by Guilford and his colleagues in American testing of creativity. Thirteen tests were adapted from the originals bearing in mind the subject area of VIth form grammar school boys. It was hypothesised that Problem Sensitivity plus Associational Fluency plus Redefinition plus Originality = Creativity. The data was subjected to computer analysis on H. J. Hallworth's Sorting Schedule producing scores for five groups. Each factor was then subjected to an analysis of variance across the four contributory sets.
Six tests returned a significance at .1#pc, two at 1#pc, three at 5#pc, with two tests being not significant. Any conclusions from such work must be tentative. However, those tests with a high level of significance do indicate that the factors involved in operation on those instruments are relevant to the hypothesised structure for creative behaviour in the English as well as the American environment.
