The Two Pioneers of Research on Creative Giftedness: Calvin W. Taylor and E. Paul Torrance

  • Chapter
International Handbook on Giftedness

Abstract

This chapter reviews research on creative giftedness conducted by Calvin Taylor and Paul Torrance. Taylor and Torrance realized that (1) IQ alone does not measure the qualities required to be truly gifted and (2) lifetime success and outstanding achievements do not correlate with academic success. This chapter explores the divergent paths they took to discover that outstanding success requires a unique set of qualities that make up creative giftedness. Taylor used his biographical inventories and Torrance used his famous tests of creative thinking. Both believed that the qualities necessary for success, e.g., creativity, could be taught. Ultimately, Taylor devised the Multiple Talent Teaching Programs to identify and enhance creative talents. Torrance devised the Future Problem Solving Program and the Incubation Model of Teaching, a three-dimensional curriculum model with the goal of encouraging children’s inherent curiosity. Their work was instrumental in expanding the definition of giftedness beyond IQ and academic success. They included creative giftedness, which is necessary for outstanding lifetime success.
