Personal Creativity Scale

This scale build on the work from previous researchers who have measured creativity by using Creativity Support Tools (CSTs) that were developed from interviews and focus groups. One instrument, The Creativity Support Index (CSI), measures creativity in terms of feelings of exploration, expressiveness, and immersion. Our current work builds on this scale by modifying the items to fit within a STEAM, specifically computing and music, context.
