The Relationship between Creativity and Intelligence

Are Openness and Intellect distinct aspects of Openness to Experience? A test of the O/I model

“…An extensive literature examines how these three domains relate. Openness to Experience is the most closely linked of the five factors to both intelligence (DeYoung, in press) and to creativity (Silvia, Nusbaum et al, 2009), and intelligence and creativity in turn relate at least modestly (Kim, 2005 andKim et al, 2010), although this remains controversial Silvia, 2011 andSilvia, 2008). Differentiating Openness to Experience into openness and intellect aspects might shed some light on this network of relationships.…”

Making creative metaphors: The importance of fluid intelligence for creative thought

“…In the psychology of creativity, most reviews of the creativity-and-intelligence controversy have concluded that creativity and intelligence are distinct abilities with minor overlap (e.g., Batey and Furnham, 2006, Kaufman and Plucker, 2011, Kim et al, 2010and Runco, 2007. Since Wallach and Kogan's (1965) landmark work on this topic, research has typically found that creative cognition-usually measured with divergent thinking tasks-covaries modestly with intelligence.…”

The Predictive Level of Emotional Intelligence for the Domain-specific Creativity: A Study on Gifted Students

“…Söz konusu ilişki çalışmalarda ağırlıklı olarak eşik değer (threshold) hipotezi ile açıklanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Bu hipoteze göre, bireyin yaratıcı performans sergileyebilmesi için en az orta düzey bir zekaya sahip olması gerektiği varsayılır ve 120 IQ puanı altında zeka ve yaratıcılık arasındaki ilişkinin 120 IQ puanı üstünde bireylere göre daha yüksek olarak ortaya çıkması beklenmektedir (Kim, Cramond ve VanTassel-Baska, 2010;Runco, 2007). Bir grup araştırmada hipotezi destekleyen (Cho, Nijenhuis, VanVianen, Kim ve Lee, 2010;Fuchs-Beauchamp, Karnes ve Johnson, 1993;Şahin, 2014), bir kısmında ise tam tersi bulgular ortaya çıkmıştır (Kim, 2005;Runco ve Albert, 1986;Runco, Millar, Acar ve Cramond, 2010;Preckel, Holling ve Wiese, 2006;Sligh, Conners ve Roskos-Ewoldsen, 2005).…”
