Resumen
GATICA, Anghie y BIZAMA, Marcela. Fluid Intelligence and Creativity: A Study of Children Aged 6 to 8 Years. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.1, pp.113-120. ISSN 1657-8961. https://doi.org/10.11144/javerianacali.ppsi17-1.ifce.
Objetive.
To study the relationship between fluid intelligence and creativity in Chilean schoolchildren from first and second years of basic education with the purpose of contributing to their understanding in the first levels of education.
Method.
A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. The sample of participants was 94 schoolchildren of both sexes, from an educational establishment in the Biobío region in Chile, who were between 6 and 8 years old. Measures of fluid intelligence were taken through the Factor G test, and creativity through the Creative Intelligence test (CREA).
Results.
The results showed expected performances in the fluid intelligence and creativity tests in participants of both levels of education. The correlation between both variables was shown as weak positive, with high levels of statistical significance (r = 0.23, p= 0.026).
Conclusion.
Students showed an improvement in their intelligence and creativity performances by their age, which could be favored by programs of early assessment and stimulation of these cognitive skills.
