Currently, both these characteristics literature are vigorously criticized, but sources important findings and continuously influential theoretical concepts. This chapter discusses main consequences psychometric approach to culture. First, it addresses question whether what extent most dominant popular form measurements—that is, divergent thinking tests, insight problems, or personality questionnaires inventories—are cross-culturally valid. It argues that implicit especially explicit understandings is depend on culture valid measurement hardly possible. As understanding differs across world, cross-country differences fluency, flexibility, originality tell us little about creativity. Therefore, this calls for a more interactional dynamic, very same time local emic creativity, provides examples such measurement.
