S ummary . The experiment set out to determine whether responses to creativity tests are influenced by the personality of the subjects and by the amount of stress imposed by different testing procedures. 106 children aged 9, 11 and 13 years were given an intelligence test and tests of extraversion and anxiety according to test manual directions and three verbal, creativity tests were given in a relaxed atmosphere to half of the children and in a moderately stressful manner to the remainder. The results indicate that the number and originality of responses is greater in the stressful condition and that there is a disordinal interaction of both extraversion and anxiety with stress.
