Abstract
The relationship between birth order and assessed creative ability was investigated giving specific attention to characteristics of the measures used. Subjects were 68 elementary school children ranging in age from 6–9 to 9–10. Assessment of creativity was obtained from the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, the Penguin Picture Story Task, and the Singer Fantasy Questionnaire. No ordinal differences were found on the creativity measures for these elementary school children in Grades 1 through 4.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
