Newland, G. Anthony

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v53 n3 p787-92 Dec 1981

A figural form of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking was administered to 96 left-handed and 96 right-handed individuals. The left-handed subjects demonstrated greater creativity than the right-handed; females scored higher than males; and college-educated subjects scored higher than those with no college. (Author/BW)
