  Background: Creativity is such a multidimensional, complex and fuzzy concept that its definitions and indicators are vague and inaccurate Purpose: Constract Validation and Normalisation of The Raudsepp Creativity Questionnaire. Method: Correlation study on a sample of all third grade students of Marand high schools with a sample size of 393 (136 boys and 257 girls) whom were selected through multistage cluster sampling. Research instruments comprised Raudsepp creativity questionnaire and American Creativity Association scale.Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis found out three factors of “sensitivity”, “idea development” and “self-confidence”. In addition, the analysis shows that these three factors explain for 61.30% of the creativity variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the extracted agents can measure creativity to a desirable level. Reliability, convergent validity and diagnostic analyses on creativity factors demonstrate that the questions are accurate enough in measuring creativity. As Cronbach's alpha test results in higher than 0.60 reliability and higher than 0.70 combined reliability, all three agents possess appropriate levels of accuracy. Standardised T and Z normalisation scores show that pupils who score more than average on T scalesenjoy good levelsof creativity, while those with less than average T scores do not have good levels of creativity. The present study shows that the questionnaire is highly reliable, valid and appropriate for creativity measurement.Conclusion: The Raudsepp scale can be utilised in pedagogy and psychology.
