Abstract

We report an empirical study of the relationship between metaphorical thinking and creativity. Arguing that the two should be related, we employed the Barren Symbolic Equivalence Test to assess such metaphorical-creative thinking. The other measure employed in the study was an abbreviated version of the Alternate Uses Test, designed to assess ideational fluency. We found, as predicted, a positive relationship between metaphorical thinking and creativity (ideational fluency). (Joseph Glicksohn, Susan Kraemer, Osnat Yisraeli)
