Abstract

This study examined divergent thinking (DT) test scores of applicants taking part in a selection procedure for an undergraduate psychology degree ( N = 370). Interviewers made six specific (creative intelligence, motivation, work habits, emotional stability, sociability, and social responsibility) and one overall recommendation rating on each candidate. Results show that trained interviewers could identify which applicants would receive greater scores for originality for DT test scores. The implications for the use of DT tests in selection are considered.
