The overarching aim of the assignment is to examine the associations between personality and creativity. The two are closely linked, with certain personality traits more likely to be associated with both a person’s creative self-concept and their creative behaviour (Batey & Hughes, 2017; Silvia, Nusbaum, Berg, Martin, & O’Connor, 2009).
For the purposes of the assignment, personality is defined in terms of the five-factor trait model of personality, and specifically, the Huge Two meta-traits (Karwowski & Lebuda, 2016). Creativity is defined in terms of both how creative an individual thinks they are, i.e. their creative self-concept (Karwowski, 2016), as well as the creativity of their behaviour in tasks requiring convergent and divergent cognitive abilities (Cropley, 2006).

For your assignment, you will write a full research report that addresses the following research question:
How do the Huge Two meta-traits of personality relate to creative self-concept and performance on creativity tasks requiring (a) convergent cognitive abilities and (b) divergent cognitive abilities?

Structure
The assignment will be presented in the form of a lab report containing the following sections:
• Title page
o Come up with a title for your study.
o Important: The Title page is not included in your final word count.
• Abstract (120–150 words, 5% of your overall mark)
o The Abstract should summarise your Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion clearly and succinctly.
• Introduction (approximately 1000 words, 30% of your overall mark)
o You must include at least two hypotheses:
 At least one hypothesis must address relationships between the Huge Two meta-traits of personality and creative self-concept.
 At least one hypothesis must address relationships between the Huge Two meta-traits and performance on creativity tasks requiring (a) convergent cognitive abilities and (b) divergent cognitive abilities
