Abstract

Creativity is a cognitive function of great importance for human development and lacks scale in Brazilian Portuguese. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Cognitive Processes Associated to Creativity (CPAC) scale. The process of cultural adaptation of the scale was carried out in 4 stages: translation, back-translation, comprehension test with experts and with the target audience. There was a convergence between the translations of 92.6% and the total average of the understanding percentages was considered very good (92.97%). The Brazilian version of the CPAC will contribute to the development of new studies on creativity in Brazil
