In view of evidence linking psychosis with high creative ability, an attempt was made to evaluate the relationship between thinking abilities and personality traits. Tests of divergent thinking and convergent thinking were administered, along with the Eysencks' Personality Questionnaire, to 100 university students. The hypothesis that 'psychoticism' is related to divergent thinking was strongly confirmed. The hypothesis that psychoticism would be related inversely to speed in a convergent-thinking task was rejected. No evidence was found for any relationship between extraversion--introversion or neuroticism--stability and either thinking style.
鉴于有证据表明精神病与高创造力相关，因此尝试评估思维能力与人格特质之间的关系。对100名大学生进行了发散性思维和聚合性思维测试，以及艾森克人格问卷测试。“精神质”与发散性思维相关的假设得到了有力证实。精神质与聚合性思维任务速度呈负相关的假设被否定。未发现外向性——内向性或神经质——稳定性与任何一种思维方式之间存在关联的证据。
