چکیده:
The present research investigated the link between creativity and five factors of personality. Accordingly، 256 Subjects were given the Abedi Creativity Test and the Goldberg Five Factors of Personality Test respectively. Initially، validity and reliability measures of the Abedi Creativity Test were examined. Results showed that this test was a valid and reliable test for evaluating creativity in Iranian subjects. Research findings highlighted the fact that creativity had a positive relation with three factors of personality، namely extroversion، agreeableness and openness to experience. Extroversion and openness to experience could predict the variation of creativity measures. Analysis of Regression showed that 20 to 25 percent of the variance in each of the elements of creativity (Originality، Elaboration، Flexibility and Fluency) could be separately explained by the five factors of personality. There were no significant sex differences in levels of creativity.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The research findings showed that among the five personality factors, creativity has a significant positive relationship with the dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience, and the variables of openness to experience and extraversion are capable of predicting changes related to creativity.
In this research, the personality traits of individuals at different levels of creativity were examined based on the 5 fundamental factors of personality, which are: extraversion 1, agreeableness 2, emotional stability 3, conscientiousness 4, and openness to experience 5, in order to obtain a clear picture of the more precise and fundamental characteristics of creative individuals.
Table 1 Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the creativity questionnaire scales and the 5-factor personality questionnaire (Refer to the page image) 2-Goldberg's 5-Factor Personality Questionnaire 1 (1991): This test is constructed based on the five-factor model of personality, consists of 50 five-option questions (from mostly true to mostly false), and measures five factors: neuroticism-emotional stability, extraversion-introversion, openness to experience-unopenness, agreeableness-disagreeableness, and conscientiousness-unconscientiousness.
It is noteworthy that although the factors of emotional stability and conscientiousness did not show a significant relationship with the total creativity score, both of these traits had a positive correlation with the originality variable with coefficients of 21% and 41%, respectively (Table 2).
A long list of personality traits has been prepared for creativity, but among these, only two factors, extraversion and openness to experience, have been able to predict the ability of creativity in individuals (such as McCrae, 1987), and the findings of the present research also confirm this point.
