“…For example, consider the study of eminent creative persons in Lebuda ( 2014 ): even the selection of the persons to be considered in the study is affected by serious difficulties, in terms for example of cross-cultural variations and of confusing popularity for eminence.…”

This theoretical article proposes a unified framework of analysis for the constructs of intelligence and creativity. General definitions for intelligence and creativity are provided, allowing fair comparisons between the two context-embedded constructs. A novel taxonomy is introduced to classify the contexts in which intelligent and/or creative behavior can be embedded, in terms of the tightness vs. looseness of the relevant conceptual space S and available time T. These two dimensions are used to form what is identified as the space-time continuum, containing four quadrants: tight space and tight time, loose space and tight time, tight space and loose time, loose space and loose time. The intelligence and creativity constructs can be mapped onto the four quadrants and found to overlap more or less, depending on the context characteristics. Measurement methodologies adapted to the four different quadrants are discussed. The article concludes with a discussion about future research directions based on the proposed theoretical framework, in terms of theories and hypotheses on intelligence and creativity, of eminent personalities and personality traits, as well as its consequences for developmental, educational, and professional environments.

“…Niezwykle rzadko miary historiometryczne stosuje się badaniach twórców współczesnych (zob. Karwowski, Lebuda, 2014), często bowiem ich dorobek nie stanowi zamkniętej puli. Zdecydowanie częściej do badania wybiera się niekwestionowanych geniuszy, osoby które otrzymały prestiżowe nagrody (Karwowski, Lebuda, 2016) lub są cenione za możliwe do skwantyfikowania osiągnięcia, takie jak liczba patentów.…”

“…Kiedy pomyślimy o badaniach psychometrycznych: testowych lub kwestionariuszowych z udziałem uznanych i wybitnych artystów, uczonych czy innowatorów, nietrudno wyobrazić sobie piętrzące się problemy na niemalże każdym etapie badania. Wyzwaniem jest ustalenie kryteriów doboru próby, rekrutacja uczestników i dobór narzędzi, które byłyby odpowiednie (o ile takie w ogóle, w przypadku twórczości uznanej, istnieją) dla wybranej, wymagającej grupy (Lebuda, 2014). Uwzględniając te problemy, nietrudno zrozumieć, dlaczego tego typu badania, mimo że dające spore szanse na poszerzenie wiedzy z psychologii i pedagogiki twórczości, są nieliczne (zob.…”

In the historiometric case study described in the chapter, a nomothetic and idiographic approach was described, thus creating a unique possibilities of research into outstanding creativity. Previously, pedagogy and psychology noted few publications that would apply this not so common technique. Thus, an attempt was made to describe the main historiometric assumptions, a case study which would indicate its differences to other research solutions, what are the opportunities it presents, challenges and threats.

“…We have presented our research at various conferences, and, perhaps as we were so passionate about it, we have received a great deal of interest from others, mainly PhD students and early career researchers, who were keen to undertake similar research projects. But, although we believe that the methodological journey we have taken can be an excellent path to very interesting and meaningful research, we cannot wholeheartedly recommend it to junior colleagues, knowing the difficulties they will face when trying to justify their findings and methodological choices and the uncertain profits in the form of publication of the results (see an excellent overview of the difficulties and profits in Lebuda, 2014). We made our initial methodological choices, i.e.…”

Extraordinary: Reflections on Sample Representativeness

In this chapter we reflect on a particular way of studying immensely high complexity, such as creativity, by investigating extraordinary achievers. The basis of our reflections are two empirical studies, one conducted in the area of haute cuisine, through interviewing top chefs, and the second conducted in the area of science, thorough interviewing Nobel Laureates. We explore why we feel that studying such extraordinary individuals can be more fruitful for better understanding creativity than trying to achieve an artificially manufactured sample that provides insights about the creative potential of the average individual. We outline the problems we see with the notion of representative samples from both conceptual as well as feasibility perspectives and offer an argument for studying the extraordinary instead.
