Individual Brainstorming and the Use of Personal Analogies.

Creativity is the process through which novelty is achieved, this novelty being deemed useful or satisfying (Stein, 1974). The belief that creativity can be increased by training and that the same rules for problem solving apply equally to groups and to individuals has led to the development of a number of creative problem-solving techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two such techniques--brainstorming and personal analogies--as well as a combination of the two techniques when used by individuals.
