Abstract

A sample of 63 male and 94 female artists completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. In comparison with the published nonnative data, both male and female artists recorded higher scores than men and women in general on the personality dimensions of neuroticism and psychoticism. Artistic creativity is associated with higher concentrations of the personality characteristics continuous with neurotic and psychotic disorders.
