Abstract
High, Medium, and Low Creative Groups, N=10 each and selected on scores of JARAT (RAT Revised In Japanese) from 155 college students, were examined by three projective tests of human figure image, that is, Attitude Test For An Unexperienced Object, Partially Restricted Human Figure Drawing Test, and Symmetrical Test of Human Figure Image. Subjects in High Creative Group responded to an unexperienced object more self-expressively, emotionally, and empathically than the rest. They also drew human figure images more self-consciously and fantastically. It was pointed out that the highly creative subjects showed a stronger self-asserting tendency and took a more indifferent attitude to other people. It was concluded that the highly creative subjects were ego-centric, asocial, and solitary though it was suggested that they tended more intensely to “AMAERU” (to depend upon others' favor, in Japanese) to a few intimate people.
