Intelligence and personality as predictors of divergent thinking: The role of general, fluid and crystallised intelligence

Creativity and Intelligence in Children With and Without Developmental Dyslexia1

“…In assuming the RCPM test to be a measurement related to fluid intelligence, it is possible to verify in the literature studies which found strong correlations with creativity in this type of intelligence, as found in the present study, in making use of the non-case sample (Batey, Chamorro-Premuzic, & Furnham, 2009;Preckel et al, 2006;Sligh, Conners, & Roskos-Ewoldsen, 2005). Nevertheless, as was also found here, studies were observed in the literature which indicated weak correlations between creativity and this type of intelligence (Furnham, Batey, Anand, & Manfield, 2008;Reuter et al, 2005).…”

Knowledge of mental illnesses: Two studies using a new test

“…The General Knowledge Test (Irwing et al, 2001) is a 72 open-answer item questionnaire (Batey, Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2009); consisting of 6 different topic areas assessed by 12 questions each; including Literature, General Science, Medicine, Games, Fashion, and Finance. Most studies gave people 20 minutes for the task though because people either do or so not know the answer, complete all they know in 10 to 15 minutesThe GKT has been used as proxy measure for intelligence; and its scores correlate between r =.4-.6 with measures of general intelligence; as well as being up to date and possessing good psychometric properties (Furnham & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2006).…”

Remotely Close Associations: Openness to Experience and Semantic Memory Structure

“…Despite different methods of scoring, open people overwhelmingly perform better on these tasks (Batey, Chamorro-Premuzic, & Furnham, 2009;McCrae, 1987;Silvia et al, 2008).…”
