“…Therefore, measuring creativity using single or isolated instruments may be considered as an extreme and somewhat misleading over -simplification. This may explain some of the inconsistent results in the creativity literature (Batey, 2012;Batey & Furnham, 2006).…”

“…The definition of creativity that a researcher adopts will greatly influence the selection of the aspects of this construct that are to be studied and, in turn, the instrument chosen to measure them (Treffinger, Young, Selby, & Shepardson, 2002). For instance, a researcher who asserts the process-based view will probably measure creativity using divergent thinking tests, while a researcher who asserts the person-based view might measure creativity in terms of personality traits (Batey, 2012). This also applies to those who assert the product-or press-based views of creativity.…”

“…In addition, these instruments are often used separately, and each instrument has its specific limitations (Horn & Salvendy, 2006;Kaufman et al, 2007;Lemons, 2011). The isolation of the four aspects of creativity may give the impression that these aspects are independent (Batey, 2012;Soroa, Balluerka, Hommel, & Aritzeta, 2015); however, the four aspects are mutually related (Batey, 2012). Given the multidimensional nature of creativity and the interrelationships among its different aspects, no single instrument can comprehensively capture this construct (Cropley, 2000;Fishkin & Johnson, 1998;Hennessey & Amabile, 2010;Lemons, 2011;Treffinger et al, 2002).…”

The growing body of creativity research has raised several challenging issues with regard to the measurement of this construct. This paper aims to provide a review of current challenging methodological issues related to measuring creativity. Five methodological issues are discussed: selecting measurement instruments, sampling, testing conditions, psychometric properties and domain-generality/specificity of creativity. This paper reveals that there remain a number of unresolved issues and serious questions surrounding the measurement of creativity. Research gaps and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, tuntutan kerja konselor menjadi semakin kompleks. Tantangan akan terus-menerus dihadapi oleh konselor sebagai akibat dari perubahan yang terjadi. Perubahan pada lingkungan kerja konselor memaksa mereka untuk menjadi kreatif. Konselor harus mampu mencari solusi, menemukan cara baru dan beradaptasi dengan perubahan yang terjadi. Konselor semakin akrab dengan perangkat teknologi informasi dan internet sebagai tools dalam pelayanan bimbingan dan konseling (Susanto, n.d., 2012(Susanto, n.d., , 2017.Kreativitas diartikan sebagai kemampuan seseorang untuk membangun kebaruan, ide berguna, membuat kombinasi dan adaptabilitas (Runco, 2014;Supriadi, 2013). Pada pendidikan calon konselor kemampuan semacam ini hendaknya dibangun sejak awal. Di Indonesia sampai saat ini belum banyak strategi pengembangan kreativitas pada pendidikan calon konselor yang terpublikasi. Hal ini menjadi indikasi masih sedikit perhatian pada pembinaan kreativitas konselor di Indonesia.Saat ini banyak berkembang teknik dan pendekatan kreatif dalam bidang ilmu bimbingan dan konseling. Konselor mulai banyak menggunakan teknik dan pendekatan kreatif dalam layanan bimbingan dan konseling. Padahal penggunaan teknik dan pendekatan kreatif tidak identik dengan konselor kreatif. Justru yang lebih penting adalah bagaimana menjadi konselor kreatif, tidak hanya sekedar mempelajari teknik dan pendekatan kreatif.Pada abad ini kreativitas menjadi modal budaya sebuah bangsa untuk dapat bersaing di era global (Sheridan-Rabideau, 2010). Lebih lanjut, kreativitas dinyatakan sebagai ways of thinking pada skill abad 21 (Binkley et al., 2012). Kreativitas harus dianggap sebagai fenomena budaya dan sosial bukan hanya sekedar proses mental. Kreativitas dihasilkan
