Abstract
Using 50 psychology undergraduates, an attempt was made to find positive co rrelations between, on the one hand, transliminality (psychological materia l crossing thresholds into or out of consciousness), and on the other hand, (item-corrected) creative personality, and figure-complexity preference (a s given by the Revised Barron-Welsh Art Scale: a measure of creativity). On ly the correlation between transliminality and creative personality was sig nificant. There was also a significant and high test-retest reliability coe fficient for the Transliminality Scale, as well as a significant positive c orrelation between creative personality and paranormal belief.
