Creativity Is in the Mind of the Beholder: the Role of Thinking Style

Creativity is often viewed as a subjective judgment that varies from person-to-person. However, little research has studied the impact of individual differences on creativity perception. Across three studies, we provide evidence that thinking style moderates perceived creativity such that analytic thinking leads to higher ad creativity perceptions
than holistic thinking.
