Creativity development can be implemented through a directed and systematic program. However, no research to date provides a comprehensive insight into student creativity, which results in the absence of well-programmed activities. The purpose of this study is thus to provide an overview using the creativity profile of the students of Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP), Indonesia to obtain preliminary information that can be used in the preparation of a student's creativity development program. This study was conducted with 333 randomly selected UNP students. The Creativity Inventory was employed to measure various dimensions of creativity, and results were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the creativity of UNP students mostly feel within the 'high enough' category (55.56%). Furthermore, this study discussed differences in student creativity concerning gender, field of study, and year of entry. Such context is necessary for the improvement of programs related to creativity development. © 2019 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
