Creabve performance is generally viewed as a consequence of a complex mteracbon among such vanables as cogmbve capacibes, specific personahty charactensbcs, and mtercurrent environmental mfluences. Increasingly, the behef has grown among tiiose who are parbcularly concemed with the role of personahty that creabve performance is stimulated, facihtated, and mamtamed by the presence of a rather hmited and specifiable set of personahty characterisbcs and pattems shared by all creabve men If there were m fact a strong and stable associabon between creabvity and personahty traits from childhood to adulthood then we could more confidentiy identify potenbally creabve mdividuals and could more effectively foster their development in order that their creabve capacities might be given the fullest expression.Independent surveys of the hterature concerning relationships between personahty and creativity have been performed by Stein (1962) and Barron (1965). They report that the more creabve individual is differenbated from his less creabve peer in that he is more asserbve, forceful, and aggressive, less mhibited and less convenbonal, more bohemian, more radical, and more resistant to pressures toward conformity m thinkmg; lower m authontanan values, more highly mobvated and self-disciphned, higher in impulse control, more persistent, higher m energy output, more construcbvely cnbcal and less contented, 1 We wish to express our grabtude to Barry Wolfe, Ann Drake, Jean Carter, and Claude Southerly for their assistance m gathenng and processmg these data We are mdebted to Drs Karen Pettigrew and Samuel Greenhouse for their advice and aid m performmg the statistical analyses
