S ummary . Tables of intercorrelations of creativity and ‘g’ tests given by Wallach and Kogan, were factorized by means of the Promax oblique method. Four factors were produced. Factor I was identified with school attainment, having high loading on all but one of the ‘g’ tests. Factor II was clearly a creativity factor, but showed a low correlation with Factor I. Factor III was associated with the number of responses given. Factor IV emerged in the oblique analysis as a general factor negatively correlated with Factors I and II and probably representing testing atmosphere.
