ADHD and its associated inhibition deficits might promote creativity. However, results in the literature are conflicting, possibly due to the heterogeneity of ADHD. To control for this heterogeneity, creativity, and inhibition were investigated in the predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I) and combined (ADHD-C) presentations. Participants were males/females aged 18 to 51, diagnosed with ADHD-I ( = 21), ADHD-C ( = 19), or without ADHD ( = 43). Self-rated Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale and evaluator-rated figural Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) were used for measuring creativity, Stroop task for inhibition, and Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales for ADHD symptoms. The ADHD-C group reported higher self-rated creativity than other groups and made more original drawings paired to more abstract titles in the figural TTCT than controls. ADHD-C participants were the most creative. This result was more importantly associated with higher degrees of ADHD symptoms rather than poorer inhibition.
注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）及其相关的抑制缺陷可能会促进创造力。然而，文献中的结果相互矛盾，这可能是由于 ADHD 的异质性。为了控制这种异质性，在主要表现为注意力不集中（ADHD-I）和混合型（ADHD-C）的患者中研究了创造力和抑制。参与者为年龄在 18 至 51 岁的男性/女性，被诊断为 ADHD-I（ = 21）、ADHD-C（ = 19）或无 ADHD（ = 43）。使用自我评估 Kaufman 创造力领域量表和评估者评估的图形托兰斯创造性思维测验（TTCT）来衡量创造力，使用 Stroop 任务来衡量抑制，使用 Conners 成人 ADHD 评定量表来评估 ADHD 症状。ADHD-C 组报告的自我评估创造力高于其他组，并且在图形 TTCT 中配对的更多抽象标题的原始绘画比对照组更多。ADHD-C 组的参与者最有创造力。这一结果更重要的是与更高程度的 ADHD 症状相关，而不是与较差的抑制相关。
