The reason I'm posting is to comment on the creativity test - it seems unusual to test for that from the outset for a gt program.
Our county definitely assesses the kids as they are moving through the program on things like creativity but this is something they have on their plate to work with the kids on, not one of the factors in eligibility.
They don't really expect the kids to be exhibiting massive amounts of creativity from the get go - after a few years in regular school a lot of this has been shut down for kids anyway! This will vary from child to child, but the idea is, they gather the children with loads of intellectual potential and bring them out of their creative shells if need be.
Did you find out which 'form' of this test they used?
