The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of tolerance of ambiguity and playfulness to creativity. The constructs were measured by the AT-20, the Adult Behavior Inventory of Playfulness, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Creativity Index. Tolerance of ambiguity and playfulness were significantly correlated .31 and .48 with creativity. The correlation of playfulness and creativity remained significant when tolerance for ambiguity was controlled. The discussion includes the role of tolerance for ambiguity in understanding playfulness and creativity, creativity as a multidimensional construct, and the use of the Myers-Briggs Creativity Index as a measure of creative style.
