Divergent Thinking, Intelligence, and Expertise: A Test of Alternative Models
Abstract
: The relationship between divergent thinking and other cognitive capacities has long been of interest to students of creativity. This study examines the relationship among intelligence, expertise, and divergent thinking as they influence creative problem solving and performance in a sample of 110 military leaders. In a series of causal analyses, it was found that divergent thinking exerted unique effects on creative problem solving that could not be attributed to intelligence or expertise. Intelligence and expertise, however, also contributed to creative problem solving. The implications of these relationships for understanding the effects of divergent thinking, intelligence, and expertise on creative problem solving and creative achievement are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
