Is Australia Neglecting Its Creative Potential?

Carroll, John; Howieson, Noel

Gifted Education International, v6 n3 p186-91 1990

This article reviews several studies which suggest that the Australian community does not actively encourage creative potential. Noted are a 1969 cross-cultural study showing Australian children were one of the least creative groups tested and a follow-up study of these students showing Australians as comparatively low creative achievers in adult life.
