TY - JOUR TI - DEVELOPMENT OF DIVERGENT THINKING SELF-ASSESSMENT SCALE AB - The aim of this study is to develop a scale for determining the divergent thinking self-assessmentlevels of adults over 18 years of age. In line with the aim of the present study, a 28-item-trialform was applied to the participants. Exploratory factor analysis based on the method of obliquerotation revealed that the scale had a 21-item and two-factor components structure. Subdimensions are entitled as rationality and subjectivity. The eigenvalue of the rationality subdimension was found to be 6.90. The eigenvalue of the subjectivity sub-dimension was found tobe 3.94. The total variance of the two-factor structure was found to be about 50.66%. TheCronbach coefficient score for the whole scale was.91. The Cronbach coefficient reliability scoresfor the sub-scales of rationality and subjectivity were .92 and .85, respectively. Moreover, itemcorrelation coefficients were above .50 for all the items of the form. Consequently, validity andreliability analysis indicate that the final form can measure the levels of divergent thinking selfassessment of the participants. The Divergent Thinking Self-Assessment Scale may provide anopportunity to reveal whether there is a relationship between self-assessment scale andperformance assessment scale on divergent thinking, which can be a suggestion for furtherstudies. The Divergent Thinking Self-Assessment Scale is considered to contribute to the studiesrelated to creativity and divergent thinking.
