A Comparative Study to Explore Different Personality Characteristics of Creativity between Chinese Potential Talents and Normal Adolescents

Scientific and technological innovation are inseparable from the creativity of scientific and technological talents. As potential scientific and technological talents, adolescents are always been concerned about their creative ability. Qualitative interview research and quantitative questionnaire research are combined to study the creativity personality of adolescents. Data was collected from middle school students in Beijing. Based on whether they received a reward in adolescents' science and technology innovation contest or not, data was divided into two groups: high creativity group(HCG) and the common group(CG). Results show that adolescents of HCG got higher scores than CG in terms of curiosity, internal motivation, openness, and persistence. According to the results, we have carried out some further discussion on improvement of Chinese adolescents' creativity.
