为了探讨个性因素对设计成果新奇和多样性的影响，我们对33名不同班级的工科学生进行了实验。所有学生都参加了一个介绍性的工程设计课程，并完成了相同的设计任务，提高了交通灯的功能，同时确保其可持续运行。我们的研究结果表明，两个人格维度的设计成果的显着影响：开放性和宜人性。这些结果与文献中的研究结果相匹配，这些研究结果表明个别科学家的某些个性维度对创造性问题解决结果有显着影响。我们认为，在工程领域的创造性解决问题可能是不同的，因为它可能需要一个更高水平的触觉思维相比，科学，因此，调查的个性对创造性成果的影响是必要的。因此，我们建议测量并使用个性维度作为设计成果经验观察的协变量。
To investigate the impact of personality factors on the novelty and variety of design outcomes, we conducted an experiment with 33 engineering students of various class standings. All students were enrolled in an introductory engineering design class and completed the same design task, improving the functionality of a traffic light while making sure that it runs sustainably. Our results indicate significant impact of two personality dimensions on design outcomes: openness and agreeableness. These results match findings in the literature that show significant impact of certain personality dimensions of individual scientists on creative problem solving outcomes. We argue that creative problem solving in the engineering domain can be different, as it might require a higher level of tactile thinking in comparison to science; thus, investigation of the impact of personality on creative outcomes was necessary. Accordingly, we recommend measuring and using the personality dimensions as co-variates in empirical observations of design outcomes.Copyright © 2012 by ASME
