Abstract

Possible sex differences have been explored in two different domains of creativity: creative cognition (with the 'Parallel Bars' subtest of the Torrance Creative Battery) and creative personality (measured by the Creative Personality Scale). Analyses with 44 female and 15 male normal college students show that differences on the personality measure favoured men.
