One hundred and thirty-eight undergraudate college males were administered individual and group measures of perceptual field-independence. Most of these subjects were also administered two measures of intelligence and a battery of tests of creativity. Comparisons were made of the creative test performance of three groups of 15 subjects each, matched for Otis IQ and drawn from field-dependent, field-central, and field-independent subject categories. Similar comparisons were made with independent groups drawn from the same perceptual orientation groupings. It was predicted that field-independent subjects would obtain higher scores on tests of creative ability than would field-dependents. Individuals with field-independent cognitive styles were found to be consistently more creative on the tasks used in this study than individuals with field-dependent orientations. Factor analysis of all test scores for 114 subjects revealed six creativity factors and one factor composed of IQ and perceptual test scores. Significant relationships were found between individual and group measures of field-independence. Both measures of perceptual field orientation were correlated with factors commonly measured in intelligence tests. (BB)
