Intelligence and Creativity Are Pretty Similar After All (2015, methodology): “This body of work has generally anchored itself in the CattellHorn-Carroll (CHC) approach to cognitive abilities (Carroll 1993; McGrew 2005), which distinguishes between a higher-level general intelligence (g), a middle level of cognitive abilities, such as fluid, crystallized, and visuospatial…”
Making creative metaphors: The importance of fluid intelligence for creative thought (2012, background): “To extend the present work, future research on metaphor production should examine a broader range of factors within the Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) model (Carroll, 1993; McGrew, 2005).”
Why do ideas get more creative across time? An executive interpretation of the serial order effect in divergent thinking tasks. (2012, background): “…higher in fluid intelligence can use complex strategies more effectively ( Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011a, Study 2), switch idea categories more often ( Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011a, Study 1), manage interference (Unsworth, 2010), and discern patterns, rules, and structure in complex problems ( McGrew, 2005).”
Verbal fluency and creativity: General and specific contributions of broad retrieval ability (Gr) factors to divergent thinking (2013, background): “At the second level, consistent with the CHC model's view of creativity as a first-level factor within Gr (Carroll, 1993; McGrew, 2005), we found significant and large effects of Gr on both the creative quality and the quantity of divergent thinking responses.”
Ready, Set, Create: What Instructing People to "Be Creative" Reveals About the Meaning and Mechanisms of Divergent Thinking (2014, background): “But a cognitive psychologist who does the same thing is measuring verbal fluency, a major factor of intelligence (McGrew, 2005), a standard part of intelligence batteries (Kaufman, 2009), and a common measure of executive functioning (Alvarez & Emory, 2006).”
