Abstract
Intelligence and creativity are
accounted for in terms of two different mental operations referred to as
‘convergent thinking’ and ‘divergent thinking’, respectively.
Nevertheless, psychometric evidence
on the relationship between intelligence and creativity has been controversial.
To clarify their relationship, we characterized the relationship between
diverse components of intelligence and creativity through the administration of
psychometric tests on a large sample (WAIS, RPM, and TTCT-figural: n = 215; TTCT-verbal:
n = 137).
The general intelligence factor (g)
score showed significant correlations with both TTCT-figural and TTCT-verbal
scores. However, sub-dimensional analysis demonstrated that their association
was attributable to the specific components of both TTCTs (TTCT-figural:
Abstractness of Titles, Elaboration, and Resistance to Premature Closure;
TTCT-verbal: Flexibility) rather than to their common components (Fluency and
Originality).
Among the intelligence
sub-dimensions, crystallized intelligence (gC) played a pivotal role in the
association between g and the specific components of both TTCTs. When the total
sample was divided into two IQ groups, these phenomena were more evident in the
average IQ group than in the high IQ group.
These results suggest that the
mental operation of creativity may be different from that of intelligence, but
gC may be used as a resource for the mental operation of creativity.
