A bilingual version of the Khatena-Torrance Creative Perception Inventory was given to 70 Malaysian students. The two 50-item subscales, ‘Something About Myself’ and ‘What Kind of Person Are You?’, require the respondent to choose one of two alternatives.

Replication with other groups is recommended.
