The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking-Verbal (TTCT-Verbal) is a commonly used measure of creative potential. The present study examined the factor structure, measurement invariance, and latent mean differences across gender, year of study, and academic major for the Arabic version of the TTCT-Verbal. Data were collected among 621 Egyptian undergraduate students. The results supported a bifactor structure for the TTCT-Verbal scores, in which a general divergent thinking factor coexisted alongside six activity-specific factors. Strict invariance was supported for this structure across gender, year of study, and academic major. Latent means were found to significantly differ by year of study, but not by gender or academic major. In contrast, comparisons of observed means showed significant differences by year of study and academic major, but not by gender. Implications of these findings for creativity measurement and development as well as directions for future research are discussed.

创造性思维口语测验（TTCT-Verbal）是一种常用的创造性潜能测度方法。本研究检查了阿拉伯语版TTCT-Verbal的因素结构，度量不变性和潜在的性别，学习年份和学术专业之间的差异。收集了621名埃及大学生的数据。结果支持TTCT-Verbal分数的双因素结构，其中一般性的发散性思维因素与六个活动特定因素共存。这种结构在性别，学习年限和专业方面均支持严格不变性。发现潜伏期的方法因学习年份的不同而有显着差异，但因性别或学历而异。相比之下，对观察到的均值的比较显示，按学习年份和专业划分，存在显着差异，但不是按性别。讨论了这些发现对创造力测量和发展的意义以及未来研究的方向。
