Another study that we presented to the International Neuropsychological Society in February shows that there is an interesting correlation with agreeableness. We found that less agreeable people tend to be more creative. You can interpret that as these people showing aspects of non-conformism or challenging the status quo. Additionally, in our November Big C study, we reported that visual artists had more unusual perceptions, odd speech and more socially divergent tendencies, while our scientists were more likely to be married with beliefs that aligned with the smart controls. We think the data is in line with the idea that artists entertain unusual ideas and may reject social conventions more, but we saw little support for the notion of the “mad scientist.”
