Summary
This study developed an objective creativity score using the Rorschach Inkblot Test (RIBT) and eye-tracking. High creativity correlated with increased fixation counts and saccadic duration, offering a new objective measure.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Cognitive Science
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Creativity, the generation of novel ideas, is difficult to measure objectively.
- Existing creativity tests rely on subjective responses and lack empirical validation.
- An objective measure is needed to reduce bias and identify creativity's role in success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an objective creativity score using the Rorschach Inkblot Test (RIBT).
- To validate this score using eye-tracking technology.
- To explore the relationship between creativity and eye movement parameters.
Main Methods:
- Thirty-four university students participated in the study.
- Rorschach Inkblot Test (RIBT) cards were presented via computer with eye-tracking.
- Creativity scores were derived and clustered into high, medium, and low groups.
- Eye parameters including fixations, saccades, and pupil diameter were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Significant differences in eye-tracking parameters were found across creativity groups.
- The high-creativity group exhibited higher fixation counts and saccadic duration.
- The low-creativity group showed the longest mean fixation duration.
Conclusions:
- Eye-tracking technology combined with unstructured stimuli like the RIBT offers an objective method for creativity assessment.
- This approach expands the possibilities for objectively measuring creativity.
- Findings suggest a link between visual attention patterns and creative potential.
