Sumida TC-1S creativity test was administered to 104 first year students
of a senior high school. Internal consistency of this test was guaranteed
by factor analysis. It is confirmed that this has a moderate correlation
with IQ but that it measures something different from intelligence.
2) Those who are within upper 50 percent in Kyoto University NX-15
intelligence test but within Lower 50 percent in the creativity test
are more independent, more introvert, more dominant and less sociable
than those who are within lower 50 percent in the intelligence test
but within upper 50 percent in the creativity test. The Latter is
superior to the former in academic record. (3) When IQ is controlled,
the high scorers on creativity test are less neurotic and more extrovert
than the low scorers. There is no difference in school record between
the two groups. 4) The high scorers on associational fluency are
