This investigation attempted to find the personality factors that are crucial in identifying different creativity patterns. Eight hundred and twenty-three high school boys formed the sample. Thirteen different creativity profiles, with combinations of high, medium and low scores on three creativity variables, were identified. Points which were one standard deviation above and below the mean were used to separate the high, medium and low scores. Variables on the Torrance Test of Thinking Creatively with Pictures and Biographical Inventory Creativity Scores were used as indicators of creativity. Cattell's 16 PF was used as a representative personality measure. Stepwise multiple group discriminant analysis and canonical analysis were computed. The results indicated that Factor H (shyness vs. venturesomeness) separated the creativity profile of all-low scores from the profiles of all-medium and all-high scores. Factor O (un- troubled adequacy vs. guilt proneness) and Factor C (ego strength vs. emotional stability) separated the creativity profiles of all-high scores from those with all-medium and all-low scores. When 13 groups displaying different creativity profiles were compared, it was noted that Factors A (sizothmia vs. cyclothmia), H (shyness vs. venturesomeness) and Q1 (conservatism vs. radicalism) maximized profile differences. Together they helped to separate people who display seven of the 13 creativity profiles. The results of canonical analysis indicated that Factor Q1 (conservatism vs. radicalism) was useful in classifying people into four of the 13 creativity profile types.
