title: Some test correlates of high level creativity in architects.
abstract: The Rorschachs of 40 eminent architects, intensively studied at the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research (California) in 1959, were analyzed in terms of styles of responding (cognitive-affective controls). Level of creative talent (assessed by a competent jury of peers) was not related to styles of responding but the Rorschach data give us reason to believe that subjects with high degrees of repressive control may be more limited in creative expression. Qualitative analysis of Rorschach content suggests drive level is related to creative excellence.
