Visual imagery correlated to a measure of creativity.

Abstract

Scores on questionnaires of visual imagery and of creativity showed a low but highly significant positive correlation for 307 undergraduates. No Ss with very high imagery scores had very low creativity scores. These findings tend to support the thesis that creative individuals accept the products of primary process thinking. However, several Ss with high creativity scores had very low imagery scores; this fits less readily into the same thesis. Men's imagery scores had a higher variance and a lower mean than women's. Further research is needed to find if the sex difference represents only differences in compliance with the implied desire of a woman E. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
