Impacts of Personality Traits on Consumer Innovation Success (2016, background): “Openness to experience and extraversion have been shown to positively affect creative behaviors for different groups of employees (Feist 1998; Rothmann and Coetzer 2003; Sung and Choi 2009; Wolfradt and Pretz 2001).”
The relationship between trait emotional intelligence and creativity across subject domains (2011, background): “A number of studies have explicitly searched for, and found, different correlates for different measures of creativity (Batey and Furnham 2006; Woldfradt and Pretz 2001 ).”
The Contribution of Personality Traits, Motivation, Academic Risk-Taking and Metacognition to the Creative Ability in Mathematics (2015, background): “Although some researchers (e.g., Wolfradt & Pretz, 2001) reported a relation between the personality traits extraversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness and general creativity, others reported no relation.”
The Creative Process (2005, neutral): “Creative individuals are usually described as open to new experiences 3 The Creative Process in Graphic Art 63 (Barron, 1969; Feist, 1998; Furnham & Bachtiar, 2008; Gough, 1979; Mac Kinnon, 1965; McCrae & Costa, 1987; Wolfradt & Pretz, 2001; Zenasni, Besançon, & Lubart, 2008).”

A meta-analytically derived nomological network of procrastination (2003, background): “Also, other studies have found a negative relation between creative behaviour and conscientiousness ( Wolfradt & Pretz, 2001 ), although one study only found it for persons with high creative ability (King, McKee-Walker, & Broyles, 1996).”
Is creativity domain-specific? Latent class models of creative accomplishments and creative self-descriptions. (2009, positive): “Openness to experience consistently predicts creative traits, lifestyles, goals, and accomplishments (Feist, 1998, 2006; Joy, 2004; King, Walker, & Broyles, 1996; McCrae, 1987; Wolfradt & Pretz, 2001 ), so we would expect openness to predict class membership.”
The Dark Side of Creativity (2015, background): “Creativity in the arts has also been associated with being low in conscientiousness, a factor that is associated with the tendency to be irresponsible, prone to take risk, and acting impulsively (Wolfradt & Pretz, 2001) [14].”
