TL;DR

Different forms of the creativ- ity measures hypothesized to be parallel proved to have only weak relationships with each other, however, split-half reliabilities of the individual measures were fairly high.

Abstract

The effects of play-like, verbal-feedback, and nonverbal-feedback testing conditions on three creakive ability, measures were studied using 176 lower- class preschool children. Most of the creativity measures used were unaffected by variations in testing conditions. In addition, different forms of the creativ- ity measures hypothesized to be parallel proved to have only weak relationships with each other. However, split-half reliabilities of the individual measures were fairly high.
