Summary: Fascinating, thorough, easy to read primer on creativity.
Comment: I had heard Dr. Piirto speak at conferences, and was delighted to get this second edition of her book. I was even more pleased to see that it had won the Parent's Guide Award. I often had wondered about tests for creativity, and whether our schools really nurtured it. This book is provocative in those areas, as well as regarding how creative adults in different occupational areas differ in personality and family background experiences. An excellent and fascinating book!
