“…The results also provide an innovative direction for investigation of this personality construct by having uncovered the specificity of a particular cognitive bias associated with schizotypy, which in turn may have a significant bearing on other facets of information processing. Future research on this issue could be targeted at understanding creative cognitive function not only with reference to individuals with extreme schizotypal personality scores, which is an approach that has also been employed by others (Park & McTigue, 1997;Park & Schoppe, 1997), but additionally with regard to schizotypy as a continuous variable. This would enable a more intricate understanding of the relationship between schizotypy and different facets of creative cognition.…”

Schizotypy has been consistently associated with an enhanced capacity for creative thinking, but the specificity of this cognitive advantage is, as yet, unclear. Different facets of creative cognition were assessed in the present study by contrasting groups based on the degree of extreme schizotypy personality scores. The high schizotypy group exhibited a selective advantage with better performance relative to a low schizotypy group in overcoming the constraining influence of examples when trying to generate original responses. The results are contrasted with previous findings on a related construct of psychoticism and are interpreted with reference to inhibitory control and other executive functions.
