DETERMINATION OF THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY SPEECH-THOUGHT CREATIVITY

An adopted version of remote association test (RAT), developed by S. Mednick, (1962) was used. With the help of this test, the level of development of creativity was measured in subjects, aged 13-18. The authors specify the concept of creativity taking into account the fact that this test is built on verbal stimulus material. The level of development of creativity is determined by the following criteria: 1) a number of associations to a given stimulus, 2) originality of associations (with reference to a homogeneous sample). 3) a characterization of a selective process. Qualitative analysis of the results are also given.
