“…It is possible that designers with the extraversion and openness traits will have a better chance of identifying problems; with conscientiousness, they can better analyze the problems and think through the situations; and with neuroticism, they are more sensitive to people's needs, helping them to create better design solutions. In addition, we found that ideation was correlated with extraversion and openness, and this finding is supported by other studies (Agnoli, Corazza, & Runco, 2016;Chang, Peng, Lin, & Liang, 2015;Chiang, Hsu, & Shih, 2017). According to the personality literature, extraversion and openness are highly related to creativity.…”

Design thinking takes an adaptive and holistic view toward product and user needs. It involves engaging in observation, fast learning, visualization, prototyping, and enhancing customer experience. Personality traits have been widely examined in the education field and at the same time design thinking is the main topic of design education. However, until now, there has been a lack of related studies investigating these two variables. As a result, the purpose of the current study is to examine the relationship between design thinking and personalities among Chinese design undergraduates. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 95 first-year Chinese fashion design college students in Taiwan. Two major findings were recorded. Based on zero-order correlations, some variables of personality and of design thinking were positively correlated among our Chinese undergraduates; however, taken as a whole, the structural equation modeling did not support this relationship. Further, age and gender did not play a role in these relationships.

“…One study examined creativity and personality among design major students. In terms of creativity, Chang, Peng, Lin, and Liang (2015) found that openness predicted originality, whereas openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness predicted usefulness. These results from the literature illustrate the complexities of personality.…”

“…In addition, we arrived at this finding probably because creativity was included as an independent variable. Research has confirmed a strong correlation between personality traits and creativity (Amabile, 1983;Chang, Peng, Lin & Liang, 2015). The influence of personality traits was probably subsumed by that of creativity.…”

Social entrepreneurship 3 , as a field of research, has gained enormous interest of academics in management and entrepreneurship literature for almost 30 years now. Also, scholars in other intellectual domains like economics, finance, marketing, political science, sociology and few others, have found it fascinating. As a term, it is common in public discourses and has found interest among policy makers, corporations, media, different groups of practitioners and professionals. As a phenomenon it is not new, although the SE term has been only recently coined (Banks, 1972; Drucker, 1979). For far more than two centuries great individuals and groups have tried to tackle the societal challenges, using economic means, such as the Rochdale Pioneers who inspired cooperative ideals, and Florence Nightingale-an English nurse and social activist, who changed the patient care landscape (Nicholls, 2006). Many of the ventures and actions of social initiatives can be traced to the earlier, medieval or even ancient times. Today, social initiatives and social enterprise have emerged in particular countries and regions as a result of

Creative and innovative people are recognized for their contribution to society’s wellbeing. Engineers are often called upon to produce innovative ideas and thus participate in the improvement of their organization’s products, services, and processes. Not aiming at educating specialists with a degree in creativity, we nonetheless believe future engineers could benefit from a deliberate development of their creative abilities. However, building an effective and valid course to develop participants’ creativity is not without challenges.This paper describes an innovative cognitive approach to enhance creativity as well as the pedagogical strategies underlining a creativity course for engineering students. It also presents the pre-post results measured with a revised version of the CEDA (Creative Engineering Design Assessment). We evaluated the creative performance of 59 students before and after a 45-hour creativity course. Quantitative data shows statistically higher numbers after the course than before. Qualitative data provides further evidence of the course’s relevance and effectiveness.We conclude that students’ creativity can be increase and that the course enables a better understanding of creativity and how to foster it.
