Problem Solving and Personality Characteristics Related to Differing Levels of Intelligence and Ideational Fluency.

Houtz, John C.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v5 n2 p118-23 Apr 1980

Eighty gifted children were administered divergent thinking and problem-solving tasks, as well as measures of tolerance for ambiguity, locus of control, and self-esteem. The four comparison groups varied in intelligence quotient and ideational fluency. Results emphasized the consistency among cognitive and affective dimensions of divergent or creative thinking.
