Summary

The present chapter is concerned with the methods and tools that have been proposed and used to assess creativity in children and adolescents. Creativity across developmental periods is a moving target. The 7 Cs framework highlights the main facets of creativity that have appeared in the literature (Lubart, 2017). These Cs provide a framework for examining creativity assessment in terms of Creators (creative people), Creating (the act of producing new work), Collaborations (interactions with close others during creation), Context (the physical and social environment), Creation (the new production and its characteristics), Consumption (the uptake and adoption of creative work), and Curricula (teaching and developing creativity through education).
