The performance of 68 academically talented elementary school children on a battery of verbal and nonverbal creativity tests was correlated with performance on a paper and pencil test purporting to measure attitudinal rigidity. A moderate negative relationship (r = -.41) was found to exist between rigidity and verbal creativity only. Investigation of the relationship of chronological age, intelligence, and sex indicated that while neither sex nor intelligence were significant factors, chronological age appeared to be related to verbal creativity production. Refinement of the rigidity measure seems indicated as an administratively feasible technique for the rough screening of verbally creative children.
