Behavioral Activation Links to Creativity Because of Increased Cognitive Flexibility (2011, background): “First, behavioral activation is correlated with extraversion—both traits share an approach orientation (e.g., Elliot & Thrash, 2002)—and extraversion is positively related to creativity (e.g., Feist, 1998; Furnham & Bachtiar, 2008).”
Malevolent Creativity: Does Personality Influence Malicious Divergent Thinking? (2011, background): “Specifically, extraversion and openness robustly predict general levels of creativity (Feist, 1998; Furnham & Bachtiar, 2008; Furnham et al., 2008).”

A dimensional analysis of creativity and mental illness: Do anxiety and depression symptoms predict creative cognition, creative accomplishments, and creative self-concepts? (2010, background): “In recent studies (Batey, Chamorro-Premuzic, & Furnham, 2009; Furnham & Bachtiar, 2008), openness and extraversion predicted divergent-thinking fluency, everyday creative behaviors, and self-rated creativity, but neuroticism did not.”
