Abstract
Fifteen female undergraduates were tested with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and judged to have creative potential because of their high scores on the intuition and perception sub-scales. They were matched for age and verbal ability with a group having low creative potential, and both groups were given the Holtzman Inkblot Technique. Out of 14 hypotheses, 8 were statistically significant, and one out of seven exploratory relationships was significant. The creative-potential Ss gave HIT responses involving more definite form, color, movement, human content, integration of blot elements, pathognomic verbalization, anxiety, hostility, and abstract content.Keywords
