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)
