Faking High or Low Creativity Scores on the Adjective Check List.

Ironson, Gail H.; Davis, Gary A.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v13 n2 p139-45 1979

A study of 115 undergraduate psychology students was undertaken to determine (1) if the average college student could fake the response pattern of a highly creative person or an uncreative drudge, (2) if a social desirability scale could detect fakers, and (3) if high creativity is fakable, whether positive traits are more easily faked than negative traits.
