Abstract: This work analyzes the problem of qualitative and quantitative expressions of the level of creativity and its relationship to the measure of irrational beliefs. The effort to assess the quality of creative production or, more accurately, to integrate the qualitative and quantitative indicators of creativity gave us the possibility to disadvantage the so-called ''gushers'' of ideas of low quality and rehabilitate persons who produce fewer but high quality responses. To analyze this view in our research we used the creative production quality index which proved to be its suitable measure. The results are interpreted with respect to the frame work of creative production - irrational thinking hypothetically-interpretative style.
