Abstract The present study sought to examine the relationship between implicit and explicit creativity in the prediction of creative performance. Based on previous research on the integrative model of personality, it was hypothesized that self-reported creativity (i.e., explicit creativity) and creativity measured via conditional reasoning (i.e., implicit creativity) would interact in the prediction of creativity scores on a drawing task (i.e., creative performance). Overall, the interaction of implicit and explicit creativity was significant such that individuals with a combination of high self-reported (i.e., explicit) creativity and high implicit creativity demonstrated the most creative performance. In contrast, individuals with a pattern of low explicit creativity and low implicit creativity demonstrated the least creative performance. Implications and directions for further research are discussed.
