Relations between creativity and intelligence among Malaysian pupils.
This paper describes an empirical study of the relation between creativity and intelligence of 397 Malaysian secondary school pupils. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, Figural Form A and Verbal Form A (Malay Language version), and the Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test were administered to 181 boys and 216 girls from five secondary schools located in the urban and suburban areas of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya in Malaysia. Analysis indicated that scores on verbal creativity were related to intelligence while those on figural creativity were not.
