The associations between personality and creativity

to examine the associations between personality and creativity. The two are closely linked, with certain personality traits more likely to be associated with both a person’s creative self-concept and their creative behaviour (Batey & Hughes, 2017; Silvia, Nusbaum, Berg, Martin, & O’Connor, 2009). Fo personality is defined in terms of the five-factor trait model of personality, and specifically, the Huge Two meta-traits (Karwowski & Lebuda, 2016). Creativity is defined in terms of both how creative an individual thinks they are, i.e. their creative self-concept (Karwowski, 2016), as well as the creativity of their behaviour in tasks requiring convergent and divergent cognitive abilities (Cropley, 2006). For your assignment, you will write a full research report that addresses the following research question: How do the Huge Two meta-traits of personality relate to creative self-concept and performance on creativity tasks requiring (a) convergent cognitive abilities and (b) divergent cognitive abilities?
