Abstract
Contribution of some personality and biographical factors in the development of mathematical creativity was investigated. Verbal and non‐verbal mathematical creativity tests, a Hindi adaptation of the Thorndike dimensions of temperament test and a biographical inventory were used on 165 urban and 112 rural male students, aged 11 + to 13 + years, randomly selected, from Sultanpur District, India. The results showed that: (1) biographical factors may contribute significantly more than personality factors in the development of mathematical creativity; and (2) the effect of interaction of personality and biographical factors may contribute significantly in the development of mathematical creativity. Two different results were obtained by using a Hindi adaptation of the Thorndike dimensions of temperament test.
