AbstractThe present study was designed for the construction of creativity scale. Six separate dimensions of creativity was operationally defined which include artistry, intellectuality, disciplined imagination, self-strength, inquisitiveness and, environmental sensitivity. The initial list of 120 statements underwent revisions many times and the items which were ambiguous or appeared to indicate neutral were eliminated. The retained 48 items were administered directly to an incidental sample of 50 subjects of secondary school students of Rajshahi University School for pilot study. The age ranged of the respondents was 11 to 16 years. In which 35 items showed higher internal consistency. Finally, 30 items were retained on the basis of high correlation having 0.01 level of significance of the scale. The correlation coefficients of these items ranged from 0.34 to 0.79. Finally, the reliability and validity of the scale were computed through field test one sample (N=320) of which 160 Ss were boys and 160 Ss were girls. The correlation co-efficient through Pearson method was obtained 0.92 which was found higher than the pilot study which was 0.85. These findings indicate high reliability and validity of the newly constructed scale.
