Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study designed to determine the perceptual cues used by teachers to identify creative problem solving ability. A battery of eight Structure of Intellect (SI) ability tests were administered to 162 10th grade students of one school in a large suburban school district on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. Ratings of student creative problem solving ability obtained from four teacher teams were related to the SI measures by the use of the Christal's Judgement Analysis Procedure. It was concluded that the four teacher teams were using the same cues (SI abilities) in rating students in terms of creative problem ability and that these cues were related to types of abilities measured by scholastic aptitude tests.
