“…Openness to experience and intellectual curiosity were among the traits that discriminated between creative and noncreative people (Ivcevic & Mayer, 2007). In a study of scientific creativity, openness was the only significant predictor among other personality factors based on the five-factor model and Structural equation models found that openness was the strongest predictor of creative behaviors and self-rated creativity in models including other personality factors and psychopathology measures (Furnham, Hughes, & Marshall, 2013). Kaufman (2013) found that openness to experience was related to real-life creative achievement; in particular, affective engagement and aesthetic engagement were related to creativity in the arts, while intellectual engagement and explicit cognitive ability were related to creativity in the sciences.…”

Openness to Experience Rather Than Overexcitabilities

In the theory of positive disintegration (TPD), Dabrowski (1967) describes manifestations of inner energy that serve a developmental purpose and might be more frequently found in gifted individuals, called overexcitabilities (OEs). Most studies present OEs outside of the context of the original theory (Mendaglio, 2012). Atheoretically conceptualized, OEs seem to define the personality trait of openness to experience as each OE can be matched with a specific facet of openness. Descriptions of each facet of openness and its matching OE are very alike. In this paper I argue that they are conceptually equivalent and that current research on openness and OE supports this. The study examined the similarity of OEs to corresponding openness to experience facets via competing models in multigroup confirmatory factor analysis, given their conceptual similarity. O2: Aesthetics and sensual OE, and O5: Ideas and intellectual OE were represented by a single underlying latent construct. High correlations emerged among O1: Fantasy and imaginational OE, O2: Aesthetics and sensual OE, O3: Feelings and emotional OE, and O5:Ideas and intellectual OE; O4: Actions and psychomotor OE had a small positive correlation; and O6: Values had a small negative correlation to emotional OE. Openness to experience seems to encompass OEs; thus, giftedness researchers and practitioners should align with well-researched psychological theories such as the five-factor model of personality (Costa & McCrae, 1992;Goldberg. 1999) and begin to talk about openness rather than OEs. CLEOS was my home in all these years and so I want to thank the CLEOS gang for all the support-without you, this study would not have been a reality (and conferences are fun). I owe it in particular to the last two iterations of the gang: the research core with Barb, Nicole, Olivia, JD, Chris, and Jess, and the counseling team with Karen, Lesley, Jake, Kristen, Darcy, and all sections of PRE 896 Advanced Skills. Take good care of our lovely and wild creative kids when I'm gone. Special thanks to Spamgirl, moderator of Turker Nation, for generously helping me to find a way to conduct this study that would comply with the terms of service of MTurk and PAR.Ahora, a Paraguay. En primer lugar quiero agradecer a mi marido, Rodolfo Parisi, quien me soportó desde aquellos primeros días en nuestra casa de Paraguay mientras yo mandaba solicitudes a programas de Ph.D. y siempre me motivó a dar lo mejor de mí. Si hablo en plural en este párrafo es porque este esfuerzo también es de él. La remamos juntos desde el principio.Quiero agradecer a nuestro hijo Gianluca por ser un bebé contento que balbuceaba al lado mío 5 mientras yo escribía. Mis padres, Marilén y Roberto, merecen un agradecimiento muy especial por su apoyo emocional y concreto; me enseñaron el valor de la educación y es por ellos que estoy hoy en este lugar. Ceci y Diego, gracias por el aguante. Una dedicatoria especial va a mi Oma, Tina (+); este trabajo ejemplifica sus enseñanzas de esfuerzo y dedicación manteniendo la ...

“…The so-called Big 5 personality dimensions have been consistently shown to be good predictors of inventive performance (Furnham et al, 2013). Among these personality dimensions, "openness to experience" plays a crucial predictive role (McCrae, 1987;Sung and Choi, 2009;Hsieh et al, 2011).…”

“…Extraversion exhibits a slight positive correlation with inventive performance (King et al, 1996;Sung and Choi, 2009;Furnham and Nederstrom, 2010;Furnham et al, 2013). The other Big 5 dimensions neuroticism and agreeableness seem to be unrelated to inventive performance (Furnham et al, 2013). Gambardella et al (2012) use linked survey-patent history data and estimate the effect of selfreported motivation on inventive performance.…”

(Version November 9th, 2015) Abstract Based on an established theoretical framework of the drivers of inventive performance, the so-called KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other) factors, this paper seeks to explain empirically the performance of inventors throughout their careers. We combine survey information spanning the inventors' entire careers and psychometric test evidence, with patent history data for more than 1,000 inventors. We also control for variables that have traditionally been included in estimations of inventive performance such as inventor age and a broad list of applicant institution-, technology-, patent-, and period-related information. We show that educational level, skills acquired during the career, personality traits, career motivations, cognitive abilities, and cognitive problem-solving style are significantly related to inventive performance.

“…Variables such as team diversity [7], personality characteristics [4,9,13,16,20], and culture [15,18] can have a bearing on creative expression. The thought processes associated with "being creative" are often characterized as divergent (coming up with many ideas), although convergent (seeing the forest for the trees) may be just as important [6], especially for engineers.…”

-The results for the Engineering students are emphasized, but they are also compared with students and faculty from other Colleges. Closed questions were analyzed using inferential statistical tests (distributions, means, standard deviations, t-tests, ANOVA, Cronbach's alpha), while the open-ended responses are compared more qualitatively when they cannot be quantified easily.The survey went through ethics approval and was distributed in the latter half of the Fall 2015 term.
