“…Other researchers also concluded that motivation (Bamber, 1973;Halpin & Halpin, 1973), fatigue (Johnson & Fishkin, 1999), and testing conditions (Bamber, 1973;Callahan, 1991;Halpin & Halpin, 1973), as well as exposure to diverse information (Clapham, 2000(Clapham, -2001, influence TTCT scores. At the same time, however, these effects may be related to test reliability, depending on administration differences.…”

Dr. E. Paul Torrance, "Father of Creativity," is best known for developing the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). The TTCT was developed by Torrance in 1966. It has been renormed 4 times: in 1974 (Millar, 2002). It has become highly recommended in the educational field and is even used in the corporate world. It is the most widely used test of creativity (Davis, 1997) and is the most referenced of all creativity tests (Lissitz & Willhoft, 1985). Basic information is presented, including purposes, content area, norms, reliability, and validity. Strengths and weaknesses of the TTCT, including use of the TTCT in identifying gifted learners and suggestions for further development and improvement, are provided and discussed. . There are 2 forms (A and B) of the TTCT-Verbal and 2 forms (A and B) of the TTCT-Figural. However, in the scope of this review, only the TTCT-Figural was examined. The TTCT has been translated into more than 35 languages

“…Situational variables potentially interact with creativity and moderate the effect of creativity on negotiation performance (Shalley et al, 2004). For instance, several scholars found that motivation (Bamber, 1973;Halpin & Halpin, 1973;Torrance, 1966Torrance, , 1974) and exposure to diverse information (Clapham, 2000) influence creativity, as measured with TTCT Figural scores. Other research (Torrance, 1972b;1972c;1974) evidences that possessing high degrees of creative abilities only increases the chances of individuals behaving creatively and does not automatically result in creative behavior.…”

This study examined creative negotiators to determine if they are able to achieve more successful outcomes in a negotiation context with integrative potential. Creativity scores were obtained from 70 participants, who performed a 2-party, multi-issue negotiation in 35 dyads. This negotiation led to economic and relational negotiation outcomes. The use of creative skills by negotiators was hypothesized to positively affect both classes of negotiation outcomes. Results indicated no significant effect of negotiators' creativity on economic negotiation outcomes. A negative effect of negotiators' creativity on relational negotiation outcome for the buyer was observed. For the relational negotiation outcome of the seller, the same negative tendency was observed, though no significant effect of negotiators' creativity. These findings extend the understanding of the relationship between negotiators' creativity and negotiation outcomes, which is highly underemphasized in current research. Further research should identify which aspects of creativity are crucial to negotiators and determine how they can be adequately measured. The issue of interaction between negotiators' creativity and situational variables should also be addressed, as it likely determines the effect of creativity on negotiation outcomes.

“…The literature examining the enhancement of divergent problem solving has identified three factors as being important. These are; providing open questions (Pellegrini, 1982), practise (Katiyar & Jarial, 1985;Khatena, 197 1;Kramer & Bayern, 1984) and motivation and reinforcement (Halpin & Halpin, 1973;Kramer & Bayern, 1984). Thus, the DPST group was exposed to divergent problem solving tasks in which these factors were present.…”
