Young women identified as "high" or "low" creatives on Torrance Test of Creative Thinking measures administered 12 years previously were asked by mail to complpte a semantic-differential-type adjective list Using complexity-related adjective which Barron [1963] found to differentiate between high and low-creative men, researchers in the present study compared patterns of self-descriptors selected by the two groups of women High-creative subjects scored significantly lower on a complexityscale [low score = high complexity] and selected significantly more complexity related adjectives as self- descriptors. By examining the nature of the self-descriptors differrentialy selected from the complete instrument by the high- and low-creative groups, implications for sex-role differences were drawn.
