The incremental validity of implicit measures of creativity for creative achievement

초록

In search of a more holistic assessment, creativity researchers recently employed implicit measures which capture different aspects of creativity, including personality and attitude that operate on an implicit level. However, little is understood regarding their overlap with determinants of creative achievement. This study examined the incremental validity of two implicit measures, the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and the Conditional Reasoning Test for Creative Personally (CRT-CP) in predicting creative achievements. Analyses based on a sample of 167 college students showed a convergent validly between the IAT and explicit creative personally, but not between the CRT-CP and explicit creative personally nor between the IAT and the CRT-CP. Regarding incremental validly, only CRT-CP revealed evidence for an incremental validly in predicting individuals' creative achievement over and above explicit creative personally. Results are discussed in terms of the application of implicit measurement techniques.
