Abstract
To determine if there is a correlation between spatial skills and creativity in interior design students, participants took a visualization assessment and created 33 individual projects. A percentage score for spatial skills was calculated based on the number of correct answers on the visualization assessment. Eleven judges assessed the projects using subjective ratings on 3 dimensions of judgment (appropriateness, creativity, and novelty) based on the Consensual Technique for Creativity Assessment. Interjudge reliabilities exceeded the established criterion level on all three dimensions. Although Pearson product–moment correlation found no significant correlation between visualization and creativity, intercorrelations among the dimensions indicated a high degree of association between the variables, with appropriateness and novelty both significantly correlated with creative potential.
This article is taken from my Master's Thesis and I thank my Chair, Joan McLain-Kark, for her help and support with this research. Susan Barnard is owed a special debt of gratitude for the use of her thorough and insightful research, which a great deal of this study is based upon. I also thank Dean Isham for his time and generosity in making his Visualization Assessment instrument available to me.
