The present study examines the factor structure of a C hinese version of the Revised Creativity Domain Questionnaire ( CDQ‐R ; Kaufman, Waterstreet, Ailaouni, Whitcomb, Roe, & Riggs, 2009) as well as its relation to Big Five personality traits within a C hinese sample ( N = 787). Analyses indicate the appropriateness of the C hinese version of the CDQ‐R in terms of internal consistency, factorial validity as well as convergent and divergent validity concerning the Big Five personality factors. Revealing some culture‐specific variation, confirmatory factor analysis indicated a slight superiority of a five‐factor model for this C hinese sample over the existing four‐factor model established with A merican samples. This higher level of differentiation in terms of one factor of the creativity domain could be explained on the basis of the specific characteristics of the C hinese culture.
