Abstract
This study examined the independent and joint effects of expected developme ntal assessment strategies (self-administered, other-administered, and no a ssessment) and creative personality on individuals' creative performance. D ata were collected from 68 participants who performed a role-playing task i n a laboratory setting. Results showed that individuals exhibited the highe st creative performance when they expected a self-administered assessment ( i.e., an opportunity to assess their own work in order to develop their cre ativity-relevant skills) and had creative personalities.
