The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking and the Kogan and Wallach Choice Dilemma Questionnaire were administered to a total population of 66 graduate students at a predominantly black university. Risk-taking scores were used to assign students to group with preference for high risk or low risk. This grouping was the independent variable while the four measures of creativity on the Torrance test, Fluency, Flexibility, Elaboration, and Originality, were the dependent variables. Individuals high and low in risk were compared on each measure via T tests. High risk-takers had significantly higher scores on Flexibility and Originality while the low risk-takers had significantly higher Elaboration scores. No significant differences were observed between the two groups on Fluency
