The aim of this study was to verify whether the cognitive and affective indicators in the Zulliger Z Test that theoretically correlate with creativity, help to differentiate children with different creative potential, identified using the Child Figural Creativity Test. The study sample included 90 children of both sexes, aged 11 and 12, from public schools in a city in the countryside of São Paulo State. The application of the instruments was divided into two phases; in the first one the Child Figural Creativity Test was applied collectively. The second step was carried out on individuals and the instrument used was the Zulliger Z Test adapted for the Comprehensive System. The results showed significant differences in the following variables: movement, active movement, unusual formal quality, popular response and response number. It was concluded that the selected variables of the Zulliger Z Test were sufficiently sensitive to enable the identification of children with different levels of creativity.
