Creativity as a Product of Intelligence and Personality

摘要: Creativity has always been a problem in the well-tended garden of cognitive ability, and though its empirical study flourished, recent handbook (Glover, Ronning, & Reynolds, 1989) characterized it as “a large-scale example ‘degenerating’ research program” (p. xi). The reasons for such disparaging estimate are not hard to find: Research this area largely descriptive, full anecdotal evidence, without close links with two disciplines scientific psychology (Cronbach, 1957)—the experimental psychometric. Admittedly there have many attempts measure creativity along psychometric lines (Runco, 1991), but these linked theoretically or experimentally large body psychological literature, thus they remained resolutely isolated.
