The literature emphasizes the need for psychological instruments that assess intelligence and creativity simultaneously. This study examined two sources of validity evidence of the Children’s Intellectual and Creative Assessment Battery (BAICI), which consists of five intelligence and three creativity tests. A total of 132 children between the ages of 9 and 12 were included in the study. The Children’s Figural Creativity Test (TCFI) was used as an external criterion for evaluation. A positive and significant correlation was found between the TCFI and the BAICI creativity measures (r = 0.419; p ≤ 001), supporting evidence of convergent validity. Correlations between the TCFI and intelligence measures (r = 0.198; p ≤ 0.023) were low or not significant thus indicating these are independent constructs.
