Torrance provided additional support for his approach in follow-up studies of his subjects after 7, 12, and 22 years, and the passage of time has shown the TTCT to be among the more valid of all creativity tests.

The decrement in creativity after mid-life, correlated with age, seems very real, and appears to be crossculturally and transhistorically valid.
