The Genetic Basis of Creativity and Ideational Fluency (original) (raw)

The paper investigates the genetic basis of creativity, particularly focusing on ideational fluency and its distinction from originality. It critiques previous studies for conflating divergent and convergent thinking measures and highlights that while ideational fluency may possess a genetic component, originality remains a crucial, yet insufficient, element of genuine creativity. The findings suggest the importance of differentiating between genetic potential and actual creative performance, recommending further research with larger sample sizes.
