KRUMM, Gabriela; RICHAUD, María Cristina  and  LEMOS, Viviana. Personalidad evaluada desde estímulos inestructurados y creatividad en niños escolarizados argentinos. Rev. psicodebate: psicol. cult. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.63-76. ISSN 24516600.

The present study analyzed the relationship between personality assessed from unstructured stimuli and creativity, as well as the existence of a documented personality profile of creative children. The sample consists of 146 children and adolescents from 9 to 12 years of age.  Personality was studied through the abridged version of the Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT), Form A, whereas creativity was assessed by means of the Figural Test of Creative Thinking of Torrance, Form B. The correlation analysis showed a significant positive association between creativity and Form Definiteness, Form Appropriateness, Movement, Integration, and Barrier, as well as a significant negative relationship between creativity and Rejection. In terms of the profile, statistically significant differences were found in personality according to creativity. Specifically, creative children showed minor Rejection and greater values in the variables Form Definiteness, Form Appropriateness, Movement, Pathognomonic Verbalization, Integration, and Barrier. These results would suggest that creative children are marked by a more productive, efficient, original and including cognitive pattern, being generally not different from non-creative children in terms of affection.
