Originality is scored based on standard zero-originality lists (ZOLs) in the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). The applicability of those ZOLs to diverse groups has not been examined. We examined the consistency of TTCT-Figural’s sample-based (SB) ZOLs and the published ZOLs based on a sample of predominantly African American college students (n = 464 and n = 493 for Forms A and B, respectively). Then, we scored 193 forms using SB-ZOLs and published ZOLs. Compared with the old ZOLs, the updated ZOLs yielded more consistent results with the SB-ZOLs when a 3% cutoff is used for Activity 3. However, the new ZOLs made more improvement in Form A than Form B and in Activity 2 than Activities 1 and 3. Further studies are needed to determine if the inconsistencies stem from cultural differences or the method of updating the ZOLs. The results are discussed in terms of the implications for gifted identification.

创意是根据创造性思维的托伦斯测验（TTCT）中的标准零起点清单（ZOL）进行评分的。这些ZOL在不同人群中的适用性尚未得到检验。我们检查了TTCT-Figural基于样本（SB）的ZOL与已发布的ZOL的一致性，该样本基于主要是非裔美国大学生的样本（n = 464和n= 493（分别用于表格A和B）。然后，我们使用SB-ZOL和已发布的ZOL对193种表格进行了评分。与旧的ZOL相比，对于活动3使用3％截止值，更新的ZOL与SB-ZOL产生更一致的结果。但是，新的ZOL在形式A中比形式B有所改进，在活动2中比活动1更好。 3.需要进一步研究以确定不一致之处是由于文化差异还是ZOL的更新方法所致。根据对天赋识别的含义讨论了结果。
