Abstract
In this study the hypothesis that psychoticism as a personality variable would be associated with creativity, as measured by the Barron‐Welsh Art Scale and the Word Association Rare Responses Test, was tested. An analysis of results from 100 nonaca‐demic subjects by means of multidimensional scaling showed a clear grouping together of the three variables postulated to cohere together. IQ did not correlate with any of the variables involved.Keywords
