Abstract
This study is to clarify the causal relationship between the personality and personal creativity evaluated by the creation. It has been proved that personality and creativity is related by the creativity research so far. However, as the creativity evaluation has come from self-evaluation and behavior patterns of the subjects, the result was highly depended on the subjectivity and behavioral characteristics of the subjects. However, the objects of manufacturing are usually the creation and ideas, which means creativity is usually evaluated by other people. As a result, the objectivity is important on the evaluation of the creation. This study has evaluated the creativity of the idea sheet of wire hanger made by 98 industrial high school students using the CPSS method (creative product semantic scale). Further, we have also conducted the brief five factor personality inspection and tried to build up a casual model on the basis of the five factors, 'extrovert', 'coordination', 'good sense', 'emotional stability', and 'intellectual curiosity' combined with the 'novelty', 'elaborate and integration', and 'problem solving' of CPSS using structural equation modeling. As a result, the causal relationships between 'creativity', 'intellectual curiosity', 'good sense', and 'extrovert' evaluated by the creation have been confirmed.
