Investigated were the interrelationships for 125 Grade 11 students among a conventional measure of intelligence, 6 measures of verbal creative behavior reflecting the product dimension of Guilford's Structure of Intellect Model, and 6 measures of cognitive functioning, based on Bloom's taxonomy for the cognitive domain. Conventional intelligence was more highly associated with the four most basic levels of functioning, while creativity was more highly associated wth the two higher levels. Further analyses indicated the independence of these two types of function and that two independent levels of creative behavior which are independent of intelligence are tapped by the 6 creativity measures.
