Collection Description

Historical Note

Ellis Paul Torrance (1915-2003) was a renown American psychologist and educator. After serving in World War II he continued his work in a position with the U.S. Army as a counselor for disabled veterans. He is noted for developing the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, which test creativity using simple trials based on fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Torrance also created the Future Problem Solving Program, which has expanded internationally. He taught at the University of Minnesota and the University of Georgia, retiring in 1984, the same year that the University of Georgia established the Torrance Center for Creativity and Talent Development. Mr. Torrance was one of the most published faculty members in UGA's history.
