Creativity is a multidimensional construct. Several different approaches have been developed to measure creativity, including psychometric scales. The Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS) is one such measure of creative ideation. The primary purpose of this paper was to assess the 23 items of the RIBS in the context of the Thai language and examine scale reliability and validity. Participants, consisting of 508 undergraduate students selected from five Thai public universities, were selected through a convenience sampling approach involving both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results suggested that the Thai version of the RIBS presented a valid measure to a certain extent. Factor analysis of the empirical data indicated a two-dimensional structure. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results confirmed that the two-factor construct demonstrated a better fit with improved psychometric characteristics. Six items were eliminated from the Thai RIBS version inventory: five items during explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and one during the CFA process. Results will contribute to ascertaining that the Thai version of the RIBS instrument can be used as a self-assessment tool for measuring students’ creative ideation. Implications and limitations of this research are discussed with suggestions for future studies.

Runco概念行为量表的心理测验：泰国适应

创造力是一个多维结构。已经开发了几种不同的方法来衡量创造力，包括心理测验量表。Runco概念行为量表（RIBS）是这样的一种测量创意的方法。本文的主要目的是在泰语环境下评估RIBS的23个项目，并检验量表的信度和效度。通过便利性抽样方法，从探索性和确认性因素分析中选出了参与者，这些参与者包括从五所泰国公立大学中选出的508名本科生。结果表明，泰文版的RIBS在一定程度上提出了有效的措施。经验数据的因子分析表明是二维结构。验证性因素分析（CFA）结果证实，两因素结构显示出更好的适应性，并改善了心理特征。从泰国RIBS版本清单中删除了六项：解释性因素分析（EFA）中的五项和CFA过程中的五项。结果将有助于确定泰文版的RIBS工具可以用作衡量学生的创意的自我评估工具。讨论了这项研究的含义和局限性，并为以后的研究提供了建议。结果将有助于确定泰文版的RIBS工具可以用作衡量学生的创意的自我评估工具。讨论了这项研究的含义和局限性，并为以后的研究提供了建议。结果将有助于确定泰文版的RIBS工具可以用作衡量学生的创意的自我评估工具。讨论了这项研究的含义和局限性，并为以后的研究提供了建议。
