Creative profile of IT specialists – an adaptation of Creative Behaviours Questionnaire for remote use with Software Development Specialists

Improvisation, innovation and adaptation, all of which are in close relationship with creativity, are very important throughout the whole process of the software development cycle and for every IT role involved in it. This tendency is very well visible especially among representatives of Agile practitioners, a group that has been rapidly growing in the last decades. In this paper we adapt pen-and-paper Creative Behaviours Questionnaire for remote, digital testing among specialists employed in the area of software development and IT. In the adaptation process the psychometric properties of the scale were confirmed, and the PCA and CFA analyses were conducted on the revised version of the scale. The CFA analyses, conducted for the first time on this questionnaire, revealed poor fit to the model for the whole scale, however a good fit was confirmed for the two subscales separately.
