ImpactModerate impact

Participants seem only somewhat convinced of the study's significance, with statements like 'creativity correlates with intelligence' indicating recognition rather than enthusiastic endorsement.

Abstract in brief

The study found that fluid intelligence is strongly linked to the executive ability called updating, but not to shifting or inhibition, while creativity is related to updating and inhibition, but not shifting.
Updating, along with the personality trait openness, helps explain why intelligence and creativity are connected.
These results suggest that different aspects of executive functions (updating, shifting, inhibition) play specific roles in intelligence and creativity, with updating being crucial for both.]
