The results of this study showed that the subjects demonstrated average to above average creativity (TTCT), had somewhat strong athletic identities (AIMS), minimal to moderate dual-role conflict, and positive attitudes towards their roles as students. Divergent thinking characteristics identified by Torrance, namely: "fluency", "flexibility", "originality" and "resistance to premature closure" were assessed. These divergent thinking factors may contribute to the subjects' ability to manage simultaneous roles as students and as athletes. Through this research, a new instrument was developed to assess creative aspects of movement used by athletes (Creative Movement Checklist for Athletes), which builds on Torrance's work in creative movement with children.
