Historical note

The Institute for Behavioral Research in Creativity (IBRIC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1965 through an initial grant of $75,000 from the Richardson Foundation of North Carolina. The stimulus for the grant was research completed by Dr. Calvin W. Taylor and Dr. Robert L. Ellison at the University of Utah on the identification of creative scientific talent with biographical information; the broader base of that work was in Dr. Taylor's groundbreaking criterion research with scientists, engineers, and physicians that defined a variety of dimensions of successful performance.

The intent in establishing IBRIC was to further the research on the identification, development, and utilization of talent...Included in our activities have been studies on the identification and development of scientific, managerial, creative, artistic, and academic talent, as well as studies on organization climate, educational evaluation, and test development.
