The current study set out to investigate the relationship between creativity, multidimensional schizotypy and personality more generally. This was achieved by analysing scores on a range of personality scales and measures of creativity, where it teas found that the creativity measures were more closely related to asocial-schizotypy than positive-schizotypy. The study also sought to test Eysenck's prediction (1993, 1995) that, given the putative relationship between creativity and psychosis-proneness, high psychosis-prone scoring individuals and high creativity, scoring individuals would demonstrate the same cognitive style of `overinclusiveness' on latent inhibition. However, the results failed to demonstrate any evidence of a shared `widening of the associative horizon' between high creativity and high, psychosis-prone scorers. The findings are discussed in relation to multi-dimensional schizotypy. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
