Submit results

Submitting will send the participant's scores to your results spreadsheet. Make sure all fields above are filled in before submitting.

Data sent: name, email, date, task, form, all four scores, total, band, and notes.

Fluency

Count every response that is valid, meaningful, and relevant to the object or prompt. Do not penalise for simplicity.

Count: "use as a ruler" — valid and relevant
Do not count: Repeated responses, nonsense, or responses unrelated to the prompt

Flexibility

Count distinct conceptual categories across all responses. Assign each response to one category and count the total number of unique categories used.

Examples for a paperclip: tool (pick a lock), art (sculpture), clothing (earring), measurement (ruler substitute) = 4 categories

Originality

Score each response for statistical rarity. A response given by fewer than 5% of participants scores 2 points; fewer than 10% scores 1 point; common responses score 0.

In workshop settings without norms, use judgement — score 0 for obvious uses, 1 for unusual, 2 for genuinely surprising.

Elaboration

Score the amount of detail provided beyond the bare idea. A bare label ("hammer") scores 0. Adding context ("flatten dents in metalwork") scores 1. A fully developed scenario scores 2.

Note on formal scoring

The official TTCT requires trained scorers and is published by Scholastic Testing Services. This worksheet is designed for workshop facilitation and exploratory purposes — not clinical or academic assessment. For research use, refer to the formal TTCT manual.
