摘要
Potential creativity measured by the Alternate Uses Test, remoteness of word associations, and rated creativity of fantasy stories was found to be related to primordial content in the fantasy stories. Psychoticism and extraversion have been found to be related to creativity. There are theoretical reasons to think that they might also be related to use of primordial cognition. Potential creativity and primordial content were correlated with both extraversion and psychoticism. Potential creativity and primordial cognition were much more strongly related to extraversion than to psychoticism. The common trait binding these traits together may be disinhibition. Relationships among creativity, primordial cognition, and extraversion are much stronger among men than among women. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
