M.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Psychology.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The central theme of this thesis is aimed at the standardizing of a hypnotic test. The test is used to measure creativity. Use was made of a convenience sample, with a size of N=252, consisting of black and white undergraduate psychology students. The following two tests were used: Creative Imagination Scale and the Barber Suggestibility Scale. The Creative Imagination Scale was applied in group context to each student. The Barber Suggestibility Scale was applied individually to each student. In standardizing the test, the psychometric characteristics of the Creative Imagination Scale were determined for the sample as a whole. In conclusion, the research findings proved that the CIS is a valid and reliable measuring instrument for undergraduate psychology students from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, and can be used for both black and white cultural groups.
