Styles of Creativity: Test-Score Correlations between Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

View through CrossRef
A reading of the manual for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator left it unclear whether it measures, inter alia, level or style of creativity, whereas the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory specifically purports to measure style but not level. Comparison of both manuals and instruments led the authors to the view that there were significant correspondences between the two tests. The present paper reports the results of the use of both Indicator and Inventory with a sample of experienced management students, yielding statistically significant moderate correlations between the Kirton Inventory and two of the four Myers-Briggs dimensions. It seems clear, therefore, that to the extent that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator measures creativity, it is style rather than level that it is measuring.
