Abstract
The main issue of this empirical research was to discover the correlation of creativity indicators, conceptual structures, intelligence of students with different levels of conceptual abilities (semantic, categorical and generative abilities). For the purpose of this study, a complex design including assessment of conceptual structures (‘concepts’), different techniques of assessment of creativity (TTCT), intelligence (SPM) and conceptual abilities was used. Participants of the experiment were four hundred eight Russian students of nine humanitarian departments (71. 7% female and 28. 3 % male) aged 18–23 (mean 19.3 ± 1.05). The results show a close relationship of conceptual abilities with indicators of psychometric intelligence, conceptual structures (concepts) and creativity, but the measure of the intensity of intelligence, conceptual structures (concepts) and creativity varies depending on the degree of formation of conceptual abilities: the higher is the level of conceptual abilities, the higher is the level of creativity, conceptual structures (‘concepts’) and intelligence. The finding of this research may be useful for solving the problem of human mental resources increasing through the development of conceptual thinking.
