چکیده (انگلیسی):

Previous research has suggested that adults with ADHD perform better on some measures of creativity
than non-ADHD adults (White & Shah, 2006). The present study replicated previous findings using a standardized
measure of creativity (the Abbreviated Torrance Test for Adults, Goff & Torrance, 2002) and
extended previous research by investigating real-world creative achievement among adults with ADHD.
Results indicated that adults with ADHD showed higher levels of original creative thinking on the verbal
task of the ATTA and higher levels of real-world creative achievement, compared to adults without ADHD.
In addition, comparison of creative styles using the FourSight Thinking Profile (Puccio, 2002) found that
preference for idea generation was higher among ADHD participants, whereas preference for problem
clarification and idea development was greater among non-ADHD participants. These findings have
implications for real-world application of the creative styles of adults with and without ADHD.
