The purpose of this study was to develop the Creative Tendency Scale for Military Organization (CTSM). Development of the initial item pool was based on Williams (1980) and Lin & Wang (1994) posited, including four subscales: ”curiosity”, ”imagination”, ”risk-taking” and ”preference for complexity”. The item analysis was undertaken by 125 military officers. After statistical analysis, the formal scale consists of 24 items measuring four dimensions. In the study of reliability and validity, 211 military officers were asked to complete CTSM and the problem solving behavior subscale from Raudsepp's creative tendency scale. After LISREL confirmatory factor analysis, the results support the model of four factor constructs, and the correlation coefficient between four subscales and of problem solving behavior subscale are .35~.65. In addition, CTSM can discriminate the more creative from less creative military officers (p＜.001). In reliability, the coefficient of internal consistency of subscale of CTSM are .92~.94. According to the results, this study suggests that CTSM has good reliability and validity and the scale can apply to military organizations for studying creativity.
