It was suggested that fluency, defined as number of responses, may misleadingly influence both high Intercorrelations sometimes reported among measures of creativity and low correlations sometimes reported between measures of creativity and intelligence. Subjects were 93 Saturday art school students between the ages of 9 and 15 years. Intercorrelations among five “creativity” scores derived from a slightly modified version of Torrance's Figure Completion Test and between these scores and Henmon‐Nelson Intelligence were compared using both raw creativity scores and creativity scores corrected for the effect of fluency. Uncorrected creativity scores intercorrelated high among themselves (meanr= .45) and low with intelligence (meanr= .09), whilecorrectedcreativity scores showed low intercorrelations among themselves (meanr= .08) and with intelligence (meanr= .13). These findings are interpreted as confirming the influence of fluency upon high intercorrelations among so‐called measures of creativity and as failing to support the suggestion that fluency may also influence low correlations among creativity and intelligence measures.
