Response to the Blank Card of the Thematic Apperception Test as an Indication of Creativity
Abstract
dc:descriptionSince 1946, researchers have used picture cards from the Thematic Apperception Test as stimuli to evoke creative responses, but the usefulness of these cards has never been compared to that of the blank card (Card 16), which presents alternative conditions for the emergence of creativity. The blank card is analogous to a blank sheet of paper or a blank canvas because it provides the subject with an opportunity for relatively free association. The subject is free to set his or her own problem before solving it. The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that responses to the blank card would correlate more positively with measures of creativity than responses to picture cards.
