Creativity and Schizotypy
Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic - Goldsmiths College, London
I am looking at the link between schizotypy and creativity; testing the hypothesis that those who score higher on the schizotypal scale will be more creative. I intend to have over 100 participants. Initially, people will do a questionnaire measuring schizotypal traits, and if scores are of interest, they will be tested for creativity using a creativity task (Guilford). Therefore, I will be comparing high vs. low scorers.
