RELATIONSHIP OF CREATIVITY AND INTELLIGENCE IN IRISH ADOLESCENTS

Summary. Kogan and Wallach have argued that the separate subtests of the Minnesota Tests of Creative Thinking probably share no more variance in common with each other than that which they also share with general intelligence. Madaus found only partial support for this hypothesis with an American high school sample. This study tests the hypothesis using a sample of Irish public grammar school pupils; the results of this study are virtually the same as those found by Madaus. Two possible explanations for this similarity of findings across cultures are offered. 1969 The British Psychological Society
