Creativity is one defining characteristic of human species. There have been mixed findings on how creativity relates to well-being, and little is known about its relationship with career success. We conduct a large-scale genome-wide association study to examine the genetic architecture of occupational creativity, and its genetic correlations with well-being and career success. The SNP-h estimates range from 0.08 (for managerial creativity) to 0.22 (for artistic creativity). We record positive genetic correlations between occupational creativity with autism, and positive traits and well-being variables (e.g., physical height, and low levels of neuroticism, BMI, and non-cancer illness). While creativity share positive genetic overlaps with indicators of high career success (i.e., income, occupational status, and job satisfaction), it also has a positive genetic correlation with age at first birth and a negative genetic correlation with number of children, indicating creativity-related genes may reduce reproductive success.
创造力是人类物种的一个显著特征。创造力与幸福感的关系存在混合的研究结果，而其与职业成功的关系则知之甚少。我们进行了一项大规模的全基因组关联研究，以检验职业创造力的遗传结构，以及其与幸福感和职业成功的遗传相关性。SNP-h 估计值范围从 0.08（管理创造力）到 0.22（艺术创造力）。我们记录了职业创造力与自闭症、积极特质和幸福感变量（例如，身高和神经质、BMI 和非癌症疾病水平较低）之间的正遗传相关性。虽然创造力与高职业成功的指标（即收入、职业地位和工作满意度）存在正遗传重叠，但它与初育年龄也存在正遗传相关性，与子女数量存在负遗传相关性，这表明与创造力相关的基因可能会降低生殖成功率。
