Abstract
Possible sex differences have been explored in two different domains of cre ativity: creative cognition (with the 'Parallel Bars' subtest of the Torran ce Creative Battery) and creative personality (measured by the Creative Per sonality Scale). Analyses with 44 female and 15 male normal college student s show that differences on the personality measure favoured men.
