RESUMO

This research aims at investigating if there are relationships between temperament and thinking creative styles in university students. The samples were composed by 126 students from two private universities of São Paulo state, attending courses from the areas of Biology, Hard and Human Sciences, from both sexes, aged from 17 to 44 (Mo=21 to 25) years old. Two measures were used: the Questionnaire of Typological Assessment QUATI (Zacharias, 2003) and Thinking and Creative Styles Scale (Wechsler, 1999, 2005), which were administered in a collective form. Pearsons Correlation and Multivariate and Unvaried Analysis of Variance were used to analyze the results. A qualitative analysis on function and attitudes of QUATI was also carried out. The results showed that there are not significant relationships between temperament and thinking and creative styles. Significant differences were observed in QUATI factors related to gender and scientific areas. Biology presented considerable higher values on Extroversion attitude, and Thinking and Feeling functions were influenced by age and area. In Thinking and Creative Styles, Biology students presented higher means on Divergent Thinking and Boldness. In relation to the gender variable, men had superior means on Humor-Synthesis scale. We conclude that people with different styles may express their creativity independently their temperament.
