Batey, Mark; Furnham, Adrian; Safiullina, Xeniya
Learning and Individual Differences, v20 n5 p532-535 Oct 2010
This study sought to examine the contribution of fluid intelligence, general knowledge and Big Five personality traits in predicting four indices of creativity: Divergent Thinking (DT) fluency, Rated DT, Creative Achievement and Self-Rated creativity and a combined Total Creativity variable. When creativity was assessed by DT test, the consistent predictor was fluid intelligence. When creativity was assessed in terms of achievement or self-rating, personality variables were consistently predictive. (Contains 2 tables.)
