“…As for the remaining factors, (i.e., Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Agreeableness) the results have been more ambiguous and complex Reiter-Palmon, Illies, & Kobe, 2009;Silvia & Kimbrel, 2010).It has been found that Neuroticism is a positive predictor of artistic creativity but a negative predictor of scientific and daily creativity (Batey & Furnham, 2006) as well as divergent thinking (Chamorro-Premuzic & Reichenbacher, 2008). Finally, Batey, Chamorro-Premuzic, and Furnham (2010) specifically found that the facet vulnerability of Neuroticism was a negative predictor of ideational behavior.…”

This work aimed at studying the relationship between personality from the Big Five Personality model and creativity through different techniques (i.e., a paper and pencil task, and scales) and informants (i.e., the child and parents). We evaluated a sample of 359 Spanish-speaking school children of both genders, aged 9 to 13 years. Personality was assessed with the Argentine Questionnaire of children's Personality (CAPI). Creativity was evaluated using the following instruments: The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking-Figural Form B; and the Creative Personality Scale (EPC). Pearson correlations and multiple linear regressions consistently showed that Neuroticism related negatively to creativity while competence has a positive relation. The results suggested that more creative children presented less vulnerability, irritability and psychological distress, eventually becoming more independent, competent and emotionally self-regulated in coping with environmental demands. Resumen Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo estudiar la relación entre la personalidad desde el modelo de los Big Five y la creatividad a través de diferentes técnica (i.e., tareas de papel y lápiz, y escalas) e informantes (i.e., niños y padres). Se evaluó una muestra de 359 escolares hispano hablantes de ambos sexos, de 9 a 13 años de edad. La personalidad fue evaluada con el Cuestionario Argentino de Personalidad Infantil (CAPI). La creatividad fue evaluada usando los siguientes instrumentos: la prueba de figuras del Test de Pensamiento Creativo de Torrance, Forma B (TTCT), y la Escala de Personalidad Creadora (EPC).Las correlaciones de Pearson y las regresiones lineales múltiples demostraron consistentemente que el Neuroticismo se relaciona negativamente con la creatividad, mientras que la faceta de la competencia lo hace positivamente. Los resultados sugieren que los niños más creativos presentarían menos vulnerabilidad, irritabilidad y angustia psicológica siendo más independientes, competentes y emocionalmente autorregulados para hacer frente a las demandas ambientales.

“…We assessed creativity with three self-report measures of creative achievement and activity that have performed well in our past work (Silvia andKimbrel, 2010 and and that have been recommended in a recent review of creativity assessment (Silvia, Wigert, ReiterPalmon, & Kaufman, in press). The Creative Behavior Inventory (CBI; Dollinger, 2007) is a 28-item scale that asks people to report how often they have done various creative acts, with an emphasis on the visual and performing arts, writing, and crafts.…”

“…For divergent thinking tasks, several trained raters simply evaluate and score individual ideas (Silvia, 2011, Silvia and Kimbrel, 2010 or the set of ideas ). Thus far, we have found that subjective ratings of creativity are unconfounded with fluency and that the relationships of creativity with intelligence are substantially larger (Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011a).…”

Making creative metaphors: The importance of fluid intelligence for creative thought

The relationship between intelligence and creativity remains controversial. The present research explored this issue by studying the role of fluid intelligence (Gf) in the generation of creative metaphors. Participants (n = 132 young adults) completed six nonverbal tests of Gf (primarily tests of inductive reasoning) and were then asked to create metaphors that described a past emotional experience. The metaphors were rated for creative quality. Latent variable models found that Gf explained approximately 24% of the variance in metaphor quality (standardized beta = .49), consistent with the view that creative ideation engages executive processes and abilities. The effect of Gf remained substantial after including personality (the Big Five factors) in the model. The discussion considers implications for the debate over intelligence and creativity as well as for the cognitive abilities involved in metaphor production. Are intelligent people more creative, or are intelligence and creativity independent abilities? This question is one of the enduring controversies in the psychology of creativity (Kaufman, 2009 andWallach andKogan, 1965). In the present work, we take a new slant on this problem by examining the role of fluid intelligence (Gf) in the production of creative metaphors. This work extends studies of creative cognition to a new domain, provides further support for our view that intelligence is central to creative thought (Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011a), and contributes to the emerging literature on how people make metaphors (Chiappe & Chiappe, 2007).
