The concurrent validity of the Creative Personality Scale of the Adjective Check List was studied by testing 10 highly creative women, first identified as high school students in 1965 and then tetested in 1990. Analysis indicates that 7 of these 10 women scored above the mean of 48.24 set for the profile sheet; scores ranged from 43 to 75 with a mean of 60. These high scores on the Creative Personality Scale are consistent with the concurrent validity of this measure.
