  • Introduction: Due to in many theoretical models creativity is a basic element in order to define intellectual giftedness, in this work, relations between creative abilities and intellectual capacity are examined. At this end, as a first step, we have developed a wide review of previous investigations on the subject. On the basis of a sample containing students belonging to Primary and Secondary Schools, global or by factors differences in creative abilities are analized between gifted students and the remainder ones. Finally, we have tried to determine if the former get high marks when doing a graphical test. Method: The study has been developed on the basis of a sample of 447 students belonging to 4°, 5° and 6° levels of Primary School and to 4° and 5° levels of Secondary Education. Four schools, both public and delivered via a public private partnership, were considered. 54 students were found to have an intelligence quotient (IQ) equal or higher than the 95 percentile in a non-verbal intelligence test. We investigate numerical results obtained by the students on 9 creativity factors, for a proposed graphical test of creativity. Results: Students with high intellectual capacity had better average results, statistically meaningful, in the creativity test and in all its factors. Nevertheless, only a part of these students had very good scores (percentile higher than 75). On the other hand, a large number of students without high intellectual abilities exceeds in creativity to the remainder gifted students. These results are also statistically meaningful. Discussion and conclusions: Results are in agreement with those obtained in classical investigations where, depending on the creativity field studied, weak or moderate correlations between IQ and creativity were found. The present work suggests that a high intellectual capacity leads to better results when solving creativity tasks. However, students with lower IQ can show a high creativity, as not all gifted students are exceptionally creative.
