The relationship between creativity and the ability to tolerate ambiguity

Authors

Abstract

To deal with ambiguity seems to require creativity. To explore the relationship between these two, a sample of 320 female first year high school students was randomly selected and their creativity and ability to tolerate ambiguity measured using Aabedi's and McDonald's measures. The data analysis shows a significant and positive correlation between the two characteristics. Thus, it can be said that those who have more tolerance for ambiguity are more creative.
