Abstract
ABSTRACT: The compatibility between the creative personality and the Chinese personality, as perceived by Chinese people, was investigated. Additionally, values attached to traits of both personalities were explored. A Likert-like checklist of 60 adjectives consisting of traits of creative, Chinese, and Western personalities was administered to 451 Chinese undergraduates from Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Taipei. Five strong factors of personality perception were derived from the Chinese descriptors and the creative descriptors of personality. Traits of creative and Chinese personalities were perceived as distinctive by all samples. The correlation coefficients between Chinese and creative personality characteristics were negligible. In all groups, participants valued Chinese personality traits the most, followed by creative and Western traits.
