Creativity is a highly valued construct in both educational and occupational contexts. Yet, little is known about the accuracy of individuals’ metacognitive judgments of their own creative performance. Moreover, the relative contribution of individual predictors of creative performance, such as gender, are still open for question. To some degree, this lack of understanding may stem from the challenge of collecting large data samples where creativity and metacognition can be measured and scored through rigorous approaches. The current study assessed college students’ (N = 350) creativity on the Similarities Test, the Remote Associates Test, and the Product Improvement Task from the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking while having the students provide percentile rank judgments of their performance. In addition, data on personality and self-report grade point average were collected. Four major findings emerged. First, students were generally overconfident in their judgments of creative performance, however overconfidence was somewhat muted compared to findings from other domains. Second, response bias for judgments accounted for the majority of variance in predicting creative performance when simultaneously considering personality and grade point average, with greater performance associated with increased underconfidence. Third, females showed significantly higher performance for measures of fluency and originality on the Similarities Test and were less overconfident than their male counterparts on all three tests. Finally, openness emerged as the single personality variable that predicted creative performance, a finding that supported prior research. Implications related to the role of metacognitive judgments in creative performance is discussed.

我的创造力是什么?:检查创意表现的判断和预测因素

在教育和职业背景下,创造力都是极有价值的建构。然而,人们对个人对自己的创造力的元认知判断的准确性知之甚少。而且,诸如性别之类的创造性表现的个体预测因素的相对贡献仍然值得商question。在某种程度上,这种缺乏理解可能源于收集大数据样本的挑战,在大样本数据中,可以通过严格的方法对创造力和元认知进行衡量和评分。本研究评估了大学生(N = 350)在相似性测试,远程同事测试和创造性思维的托伦斯测试中的产品改进任务上的创造力,同时让学生对他们的表现进行百分等级评估。此外,还收集了有关人格和自我报告平均成绩的数据。出现了四个主要发现。首先,学生对创意表现的判断通常过分自信,但是与其他领域的发现相比,过分自信被忽略了。其次,在同时考虑人格和平均成绩时,判断的反应偏见占预测创意表现的大部分差异,而更大的表现与自信心不足有关。第三,在相似度测试中,女性在流畅度和独创性方面表现出明显更高的表现,并且在所有三个测试中都没有男性那么自信。最终,开放性成为预测创造力的单一人格变量,这一发现支持了先前的研究。讨论了与元认知判断在创造力中的作用有关的含义。
