Research on personality and creativity has a long history, from the seminal studies of the 1950s and 60s to contemporary work grounded in structural models such as the Big Five and HEXACO. This chapter reviews and integrates what is known about the “creative personality,” emphasizing both broad dimensions and narrower, domain-specific traits. Broad models highlight the robust role of Openness to Experience, along with more nuanced contributions of traits such as Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Honesty-Humility. Narrower traits, including curiosity, tolerance for ambiguity, playfulness, and autonomy, offer additional explanatory power by capturing dispositions not well represented in higher-order structures. Beyond static profiles, functional and integrative frameworks conceptualize the creative person dynamically: traits operate in relation to tasks, contexts, and developmental trajectories, yielding different configurations across domains such as science, the arts, and everyday problem-solving. Classic insights into trait configurations and creative types, from Barron to Helson, are revisited in light of modern statistical and modeling approaches. The chapter ends with a call for future research that bridges historical perspectives with contemporary methods to build a more differentiated, context-sensitive, and ecologically valid science of the creative personality.
