The measure of originality in CREA test responses
The aim was to study a new scoring procedure for the CREA Test, complementary to the traditional, that considers the originality of the productions. The new procedure and corresponding analyzes were defined for three groups (children, adolescents and adults) and for the three stimuli of the CREA. The sample included 505 participants (188 children, 108 adolescents and 209 adults) living in Cordoba, Argentina. The new procedure included three categories of questions: very frequent, frequent and unique, each categories had different scoring. A descriptive analysis of typologies and a correlational analysis of the scores were performed according to the two procedures. Also, the paper presented a case study of people asking unique questions. The results showed very high consistency of measurements and correlations between two procedures for the three groups and the three stimuli. There were significant associations between the levels of creativity defined by both procedures. The unique questions represented between 1 and 4% of the total, stimulus A is the one that most promotes the formulation of unique questions. The authors proposed to use of the alternative system in groups that obtain low scores with the traditional system and when a differential analysis of the originality is required. Authors discussed theoretically relations between quantity and originality and proposed future lines of research.
El objetivo de la presente investigación es estudiar un nuevo procedimiento de puntuación para el Test CREA, complementario al tradicional, que considera la originalidad de las producciones. Se define el nuevo procedimiento y los análisis correspondientes para tres grupos (niños, adolescentes y adultos) y para las tres láminas del CREA. Participaron de la investigación 513 sujetos (188 niños, 108 adolescentes y 209 jóvenes y adultos) residentes en Córdoba (Argentina). El nuevo procedimiento asigna puntajes diferentes a preguntas muy frecuentes, frecuentes y únicas. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de tipologías de preguntas y un análisis correlacional de los puntajes finales según los dos sistemas de puntación. También se efectuó un estudio de casos de personas que formulan preguntas únicas. Los resultados mostraron la adecuada consistencia de las mediciones y correlaciones muy elevadas entre ambos procedimientos para los tres grupos y láminas. Se propone la utilización del sistema alternativo en grupos que obtienen puntajes bajos con el sistema tradicional y cuando se requiere un análisis diferencial de originalidad de las producciones.
