Abstract
The present study intends to investigate that whether there is a difference among the nine combinational groups of intelligence and creativity from the standpoint of personality traits. To arrive at an empirical answer, tIrst, from all first grade high school students in Ahvaz, a primary sample including 4500 subjects was chosen randomly via a multistage random technique. Then these subjects took the creativity paper and pencil test. Also, the IQ scores of the subjects, were obtained from school archive Subsequently, the primary sample was divided into three groups of low, intermediate and high levels from the standpoint of intelligence and creativity scores. Therefore, we ended up with nine groups. Then, 1440 subjects were selected from the primary sample as the secondary sample (nine groups). Finally, the 16 PF test was administered to all the nine groups. The results revealed that with regards to the personality characteristics of abstract- concrete, sentimental- emotionally stable, expedient- conscientious, controlledundisciplined, relaxed- tense, traits, there are significant differences among the nine combinational groups of intelligence and creativity.
