Experts have found, however, that most often the creative child is "written off in school as just "unruly and efforts are bent towards making him "re-form. Creative children do not do well on I.Q. tests, though many are highly Intelligent. 1 By Louis Cassels United Press Internationa! Do our schools tend to encourage little conformists, and to discourage t kid who has a genuine the spark of creative ability? off-bea- THAT QUESTION IS bothering educators, who have more than a suspicion that the answer is yes. True creativity is a rare and precious talent, and few things are more Important to the future of our nation than to recognize it where it exists, and to give it every opportunity to develop. SOCIETY RELIES VERY heavily on its creative individuals to produce original solutions to economic and political problems, new inventors, breakthrough discoveries in science, and the great works of art, music and literature that enrich its culture. Educators are well aware of all this, and schools throughout the country are working on programs to identify "gifted children and to give them the extra challenge they need for maximum growth. But until recently, there has a general disposition to equate "giftedness with academic been ability of the sort which is most readily measurable by intelligence tests. The assumption has been that brainpower was synonymous with a high I.Q. This assumption has been rudely shaken by several research studies. The most significant, perhaps, was conducted by Doctors J. W. Getzels and P. W. Jackson of the University of Chicago. THEY USED A SERIES of tests to measure a child's ability to come up with fresh, original and ingenious answers. (For example, one test is to name as many uses as possible for an ordinary brick.) Then they administered these tests, along with standard I.Q. tests, to a large group of adolescents. The results showed that a child who gets an unimpressive score on an I Q. test may be very high in creativity. Conversely, high I Q. children may do quite poorly on ci eative tests. THE RESEARCHERS THEN picked two groups of children one high in creativity, the other high in IQ and compared their actual academic achievement. They turned out to be equally superior in achievement But their teachers, When tested on their attitudes toward the children, showed a marked preference for the high LQ. group. Getzel and Jackson then asked the two groups of children to rate certain qualities of personality such as leadership ability, sense of humor, etc. in terms of their importance in getting ahead in the world, and in getting along with teachers. Both groups were in substantial agreement about the traits which "pay off. BUT WHEN THE CHILDREN were asked what traits they desired for themselves, a striking difference appeared. The high I.Q. group wanted the qualities which impress teachers and make for adult -- success. The highly creative kids showed relative disdain for these conformist traits, and indicated they would rather be untrammeled individuals, even if it cost them a lot OTHER STUDIES HAVE mad clear that the teaching methods and tests employed in most schools stress the kind of thinking that arrives at the one "right answer, and discourage or penalize the kind of creative thought that leads to novel or resourceful answers. Dr, Frank jSarron, noted clinical psychologist at Harvard, sums up the evidence in these words: WHAT THESE FINDINGS seem to say is that we are too much inclined to reward docility and niceness in our students, and that the independent, off beat and sometimes unruly students, whom we are much inclined to under-valuand deplore, often may have the greatest potential for creative achievement Dr. Barron recognizes that a creative child may be a sore trial to a teacher trying to instruct a large class. But he says: e "THE SPARK OF creativity is something which the teacher should strive to keep alive when it shows itself in the classroom, even occasionally or perhaps more than occasionally at the cost of the usual order. their their names on the ballot Others are conducting active campaigns and claim they could win.
