This study aimed to examine the factorial invariance of the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale (Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale – K-DOCS) among post-basic education students in the Sultanate of Oman by testing the four levels of measurement invariance: configural, metric, residual, and scalar invariance. The study sample consisted of Grade 11 and Grade 12 students, and the Arabic version of the scale was administered after ensuring its linguistic and cultural appropriateness. Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MG-CFA) was employed to examine the stability of the scale’s factorial structure across selected demographic variables. The results indicated that configural and metric invariance were supported, suggesting equivalence in the factorial structure and the meanings of the latent constructs across groups. However, partial non-invariance was observed at the residual and scalar levels, reflecting potential differences in students’ responses to certain items without compromising the overall conceptual structure of the scale. The findings support the use of the K-DOCS for research and group comparisons within the Omani educational context, while recommending caution when interpreting mean-level comparisons. Overall, the results provide empirical support for the validity of the K-DOCS in Arabic contexts and contribute to the literature on measuring creativity from a multidimensional perspective.
