Journal/Book: J Psychol. 1998; 132: 1319 Eighteenth St NW, Washington, DC 20036-1802. Heldref Publications. 381-388.

Abstract: The relationships between figural creativity and cognitive preference were examined among university undergraduates in Malaysia. Measures of figural creativity, figural originality, figural elaboration, figural fluency, and figural flexibility were obtained via the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT; Torrance, 1974), and measures of recall, questioning, principle, and application modes were obtained via the Combined Cognitive Preference Inventory (CCPI; Tamir, 1988). Figural creativity and its components were not significantly related to the students' modes of cognitive preferences or their factor scores.
