由于发散思维（DT）测试分数与创造性表现之间的相关性相对较低，因此发散思维（DT）测试的标准相关有效性受到质疑。先前相关性中的一个可能的抑制因素——样本的异质性——被忽略了。如果具有不同 DT 概况的群体参与这一研究，低相关性不一定表明实际关系，并且标准相关效度似乎会低于实际情况。因此，本研究确定了具有自己独特的 DT 概况的群体，并检查了他们的创造性表现。为此，使用潜在概况分析来分析小学生 (N = 325) 在 3 项 DT 任务中的反应。结果表明，3 组具有独特的 DT 特征：一组在流畅性方面得分中等，在原创性方面得分较低；另一组在流畅性方面得分中等，在原创性方面得分较高；第三组在流畅性、原创性和灵活性方面得分均较低。令人惊讶的是，只有低原创性群体在创造性成就方面表现出色，但这项调查的假设得到了以下事实的支持：只有高原创性群体在构思方面表现出色。这些结果证实，DT 指数与创意表现之间的低相关性并不一定表明 DT 测试缺乏与标准相关的有效性。详细描述了创造性成就和构思标准测量之间的差异，并讨论了 DT 配置文件中的特殊属性及其相应的创造性优势，作为教育意义。
The criterion-related validity of divergent thinking (DT) tests has been questioned because of relatively low correlations between DT test scores and creative performance. A possible inhibiting factor in previous correlations—heterogeneity of the sample—has been ignored. If groups with different DT profiles are involved in this line of research, low correlations would not necessarily be indicative of actual relationships, and criterion-related validity would appear to be lower than it is. Thus, this study identified groups with their own unique DT profiles and examined their creative performance. To this end, elementary children’s (N = 325) responses in 3 DT tasks were analyzed using latent profile analysis. Results suggested 3 groups with unique DT profiles: One group scored moderate on fluency and low on originality; another group scored moderate on fluency and high on originality; the third group scored uniformly low across fluency, originality, and flexibility. Surprisingly, only the low-originality group excelled in creative achievement, but the hypothesis of this investigation was supported by the fact that only the high-originality group significantly excelled in ideation. These results confirm that low correlations between DT indices and creative performance do not necessarily indicate a lack of the criterion-related validity of DT tests. Differences between the creative achievement and the ideation criterion measures are detailed, and idiosyncratic properties in DT profiles and their corresponding creative strengths are discussed as educational implications.
