Descriptions of the creative individual or the individual who can regress in the service of the ego seem to parallel Fisher and Cleveland's (1968) description of the high barrier individual: well-integrated; self-sufficient, but often outgoing and communicative; and able to experience a full range of sensation and emotions without neurotic anxiety. The relationships between Barrier and five measures associated with creativity were investigated, using 100 paid male college student volunteers. The results support the notion that creativity is not a functional unity. Barrier was found to be related to aristic, expressive creativity which seems to be related to interest in human interactions, but unrelated to creativity associated with scientific endeavors and unrelated to creative receptivity (i.e., purest adaptive regression).
对有创造力的个体或能够为自我服务而退行的个体的描述，似乎与费舍尔和克利夫兰（1968年）对高屏障个体的描述相似：整合良好；自给自足，但通常外向且善于交流；能够毫无神经症焦虑地体验全方位的感觉和情感。使用100名有偿参与的男大学生志愿者，对屏障与五项与创造力相关的指标之间的关系进行了研究。结果支持了创造力并非功能统一体这一观点。研究发现，屏障与艺术、表达性创造力相关，而这似乎与对人际互动的兴趣有关，但与科学探索相关的创造力无关，也与创造性接受能力（即最纯粹的适应性退行）无关。
