Abstract Zhou and George’s (2001) 13-item supervisory rating scale has been modified and used for individuals’ self-report creativity. This present research has particularly translated and investigated the psychometric properties of the Malay version Self-Rated Creativity Scale (SRCS-M) through two studies using two different adolescent samples (N = 753). A one-factor model was identified after the removal of three items following low factor loading and item-total correlation in exploratory factor analysis in Study 1. Study 2 then examined and compared the 10-item and 13-item one-factor model besides the 12-item bifactor model. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the 10-item one-factor model was superior compared with other competing models. Moreover, the test of measurement variance supported partial scalar invariance between two gender groups in the 10-item one-factor model. The 10-item SRCS-M also showed good reliability and validity. In a nutshell, the sound psychometric properties of the SRCS-M suggest its practical use on Malaysian adolescents. Keywords Adolescents . Confirmatory factor analysis . Exploratory factor analysis .

The focus of research on creativity varies from one discipline to another. As such, the 4P model introduced by Rhodes (1961) conceptualizes creativity through four different dimensions, namely product (“what”), process (“how”), person (“who”), and press (“where”). Most creativity research aims to understand the mechanism of the creation process, generate creative products, and explore environmental factors and individual characteristics (e.g., personality) that encourage (or impede) the
