The present study aims to assess the creativity of a sample of Tunisian sixth-grade elementary school children (n = 142) and explore the relationships between their creative potential and gender, academic achievement and self-esteem in order to determine possible factors to explain these links. Two instruments were employed: the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) created by Torrance and the Test of Creative Thinking and Drawing Production (TCT-DP) developed by Urban and Jellen. The results obtained from the two tests were consistent, revealing average creative potential with a slight girls superiority. However, the study of the variance in children's creative potential based on academic achievement and self-esteem, revealed divergent trends.
