A comparative study of intelligence and creativity in hearing impaired and normal boys and girls

Moorjhani et.al (1998) Compared intelligence and creativity in 80 subjects of 6-11 year old on hearing impaired and normal boys and girls. Intelligence was measured with Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices and creativity with the Wallach and Kogan Test of Creativity. Statistical analysis revealed that Subject with hearing performed better than the hearing impaired Subject on intelligence. The verbal stimulus of the Creativity Test did not exert any significant difference on the basis of hearing status, though differences were present based on gender and age.
On the visual stimulus hearing impaired Subject gave significantly more number of responses than the hearing Subject. When the number of unique responses were considered on the verbal stimulus, only age exerted a significant difference.
