520 $a Objective. The primary objective was to investigate temperament (or personality) traits and creativity and the influences of temperament on creativity in a general clinical sample of mood disorder patients, matched healthy controls, and highly creative subjects.
520 $a Method. We administered three temperament measures (the NEO-PI-R, Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory, and Akiskal's TEMPS-A) and four creativity measures (the Barron-Welsh Art Scale (BWAS), the Adjective Check List Creative Personality Scale (ACL-CPS), and the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking Figural and Verbal versions) to 48 euthymic bipolar disorder patients, 25 euthymic (unipolar) major depressive disorder patients, 47 healthy controls, and 32 creative controls. Groups were compared using ANOVA and unpaired t-tests. Five personality/temperament factors derived from 16 variables were correlated with creativity scores, covarying for age and gender effects. Regression analyses were performed to assess influence of these factors on creativity measures.
520 $a Results. Creative and Bipolar (but not Unipolar) subjects scored, respectively, 47% and 49% higher than healthy controls on the BWAS, but did not differ on the other creativity measures. Creative, Bipolar and Unipolar subjects scored similarly higher than Healthy Controls on Novelty-Seeking and on traits related to negative affective experience, including Neuroticism, Harm Avoidance, and Dysthymic, Cyclothymic, and Irritable temperament traits. Creative and Bipolar subjects scored higher than Healthy Control and Unipolar Subjects on Openness to Experience.
520 $a Two factors, "Negative Affective Traits" (including Neuroticism and Dysthymic and Cyclothymic temperament traits) and "Openness" (from the NEO) had significant relationships with creativity. NAT had nearly equal and opposite (r = .32, r = -.39) correlations with BWAS and ACL-CPS. Openness correlated with ACL-CPS (r = .49), and NAT (r = .39).
520 $a Conclusion. This study suggests an advantage for Creative and Bipolar subjects in an aspect of creativity that is itself related to affect. Creative subjects were more similar to mood disorder patients on personality traits, especially Negative Affective Traits, than to healthy controls. In addition to Openness, which has been found in prior studies, Negative Affective Traits emerged as an additional important contributor to creativity.
