Abstract
This is an introduction to the special issue 'Creativity Assessment: Pitfalls, Solutions, and Standards.' This special issue (SI) provides a much-needed critical review of current practice in creativity assessment and existing measures, outlining common pitfalls, while suggesting important guidelines and standards for best practice in creativity research and directions for the field. After a general overview of common assessment practice in the field (Snyder, Hammond, Grohman, & Katz-Buonincontro, 2019), several contributions in this SI address challenges and new developments regarding the measurement of divergent thinking (Acar & Runco, 2019; Reiter-Palmon, Forthmann, & Barbot, 2019), consensual assessment technique and subjective ratings (Cseh & Jeffries, 2019; Myszkowski & Storme, 2019; Primi, Silvia, Benedek, & Jauk, 2019), and self-report methodology (Kaufman, 2019). Recent developments and methodological recommendations relevant to creativity assessment on topics including neuroscience of creativity methods (Benedek, Christensen, Fink, & Beaty, 2019), experience sampling (Cotter & Silvia, 2019), developmental methods (Barbot, 2019), selfbeliefs research (Karwowski, Han, & Beghetto, 2019), and crosscultural studies of creativity (Glaveanu, 2019) are also represented. The SI concludes with a general commentary on these contributions, outlining recommendations for best practice in creativity assessment (Barbot, Hass, & Reiter-Palmon, 2019).
