And the content validity and the structural validity were analyzed to verify the validity of the questionnaire.The results indicated that the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were good and could be used as an effective tool for assessing college student's creativity. Secondly,as a whole,the level of ethnic minorities of university students'creativity is above the average.These university students whose mean score(M±SD=3.59±0.67) in the re-thinking factor is rather higher are good at monitoring process of problem-solving and evaluating results of it.While their mean score(M±SD=3.29±0.53) in the tearcher' supports factor is relatively lower.Thirdly,In school facors,there are statistically significant gender,grade, major and school type difference in creative spirit.Meanwhile,in family aspects, there are statistically significant difference in some factors,such as whether single child or not,the family structure,family economic state,parents education degree.Furthermore,there is statistically significant interaction in creativity between major and sex,between major and grade(P<0.01).Finally,the ethnic difference is remarkable.Generally,based on originality,reflection,curriculum,peer influence dimension and total score,the Miao nationality and the Buyi nationality students' mean score are significant higher than the Yi nationality and the Zang nationality students'(P<0.01).While,There are no statistically significant difference between the Miao nationality and the Buyi nationality students' mean score(P>0.05),between the Yi nationality and the Zang nationality students' mean score(P>0.05 ).
