Popis: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric characteristics of the CREA, an instrument for assessing divergent thinking, in a wide sample of different populations such as Spain, Argentina, United States, Israel, Poland, Mexico and Turkey. Responding to a inquiry made by Villalba: ”Is it really possible to measure creativity?” and following Runco’s proposal of ”changing the question”, the scientific question might be: Which aspects of creativity are measurable? The CREA test is intended at appreciating creative intelligence by means of an indicator of question-raising within a theoretical context of problem seeking and solving. This research provides new data about its international use in different sociocultural contexts and a cross-cultural instrument comparison. Results showed similar findings in the different populations, thus supporting the use of the CREA as a divergent thinking measure in a wide range of cultural environments.
