Abstract

Intelligence quotient (IQ) is commonly used as a benchmark for the quality of human resources. However, we also need to emphasize the ability of creative thinking (figural creativity) to create skilled human resources and productive, creative and quality generation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between intellectual intelligence and figural creativity in elementary school students using quantitative analysis. We used the random sampling technique to gather 80 10-year-old students from 4 different sub-districts as participants in this study. We also employed coloured progressive matrices (CPMs) and the figural creativity test (TKF) to determine students’ intellectual and creativity levels. Statistical Product and Service Solutions was used to analyze the test results to prove the relationship between intellectual intelligence and figural creativity. This is indicated by the significance value obtained at 0.04 < 0.05. Test results corroborate that intellectual ability is related to the ability to think creatively. However, from the entire sample, 32% of the students have the excellent intellectual ability but inversely with the ability to think creatively. Thus, the stimulation of students’ figural creativity is necessary
