The evaluation of potential creativity and personality traits of students

Tema ovog diplomskog rada odnosi se na empirijsko istraţivanje kojim se provjerila paralelnost formi EPoC testa kreativnosti, dobne i spolne razlike u osobinama ličnosti te povezanost mjere potencijalne kreativnosti (EPoC) i osobina ličnosti na uzorku od 143 učenika Primorsko-goranske ţupanije. Istraţivanje je provedeno individualno pri čemu su svi ispitanici rješavali test potencijalne kreativnosti te slikovni upitnik ličnosti. UtvrĎena je izrazito visoka paralelnost formi EPoC testa. Nadalje, pokazalo se da se s dobi povećava neuroticizam kod mlaĎe djece. Kod starije djece jedina statistički značajna povezanost odnosi se na smanjenje otvorenosti za iskustva s porastom dobi. Spolne razlike u osobinama ličnosti nisu bile značajne. Izračunavanjem Spearmanovog koeficijenta korelacije dobivena je značajna negativna povezanost savjesnosti i ugodnosti sa divergentnim mišljenjem kod mlaĎe djece.The topic of this thesis is the empirical research that examined the parallelism of the forms of EPoC creativity test, age and gender differences in personality traits, and the link between the potential creativity measure (EPoC) and personality traits on a sample of 143 Primorsko-Goranska County students. The research was conducted individually, whereby all respondents solved the test of potential creativity and the personality trait questionnaire for children. There was an extremely high parallelism of the EPoC test form. Furthermore, it has been shown that age increases neuroticism in younger children. In older children, the only statistically significant correlation relates to reduction of openness to experiences with increasing age. Gender differences in personality traits were not significant. By computing Spearman's correlation coefficient, there was a significant negative correlation between conscientiousness and agreeableness with divergent thinking in younger children
