Frente a la necesidad de herramientas psicológicas que evalúen el funcionamiento cognitivo de forma integrada, hemos investigado la validez de la Batería de Evaluación Intelectual y Creativa - Adulto (BAICA). Participaron 99 estudiantes (51 mujeres), con edades entre 15 y 17 años. La BAICA consta de cinco subpruebas cognitivas y una creativa. Las pruebas que se utilizaron como criterios externos fueron: Batería de Pruebas de Razonamiento (BPR-5), Prueba de Atención Dividida (TEADI) y Alternada (TEALT) y las Pruebas de Torrance. Los resultados mostraron correlaciones significativas (p≤.05) entre las subpruebas cognitivas de BAICA con las pruebas de inteligencia (.28 a .52) y creatividad (.26 a la .54). Se concluyó que la BAICA es una medida válida para evaluar la inteligencia y creatividad.

There is a current need for psychological tests that can assess cognitive functioning through an integrative perspective. The purpose of this study was to collect validity evidence of the adult version of the Battery of Intelligence and Creativity. The sample was composed of 99 students (51 female), with ages ranging between 15 and 17. The battery is composed of five cognitive tests and one creative test. The following tests were used as external criteria: The Reasoning Tests Battery 5; Divided and Alternating Attention Tests and Torrance Tests. The results indicated significant correlations (p≤.05) between the battery subtests with the intelligence criteria tests (.28 to .52) as well as creativity tests (.26 to .54). This battery was found to be a valid measure to evaluate intelligence and creativity.
