Buffalo, N.Y.: Creative Education Foundation Press. Abstract In this article, an instrument to describe one's own unique style of creative problem solving is introduced. It identifies the portions of a "complete process of creative problem solving" for which one has a relatively greater or lesser inclination. Theoretical foundations built upon the basic Osborn-Parnes CPS model are presented. The instrument is in the development stage, but encouraging preliminary reliability and validity test results are reported. Additional research underway is described. Applications at the individual, group and organizational levels and future opportunities for research are suggested.     Copyright, 2007 Basadur Applied Creativity Inc.
