This is a synthesis of research data on three essential sources of a person's perception of creative climate, viz., original thinking, personality traits and social skills. Our sample comprised 227 adolescents in whom all the three components were compared in extreme groups of high (n = 32) and low originality (n = 37). The methods employed included: The Torrance Figural Test of Creative Thinking - TTCT, Riggio's Social Skills Inventory - SSI, Cattell's 16PF - Fifth Edition, The Creative Climate Questionnaire - CCQ (Isaksen, Kaufmann). Our findings permit a deeper insight into the interaction personality-environment as follows: 1) original thinking is an effective mediator for perceiving the characteristics of creative climate. 2) A key role is here played by its bonds with prosocial traits that are the components of extroversion, independence and receptivity. The most conspicuous source of social skills in relation to creative climate is empathy. A mutual interplay between high originality, prosocial traits and empathy permits not only to positively reflect, but also to generate a climate that stimulates creativity and promotes it - where precisely subjects with these particular traits can draw most profit from it. On the other hand, climate dimensions need not suit introverts and those with lower social skills and originality, with whom they are not compatible. For persons with lower originality (in its relations with anxiety and excessive self-control), creative climate may spell uncertainty and subjective threat which becomes reflected in a higher rating of the dimensions representing emotional safety.

The paper brings an outline of modern discourse on authenticity, including the existentialist, pragmatist and postmodern approaches as well as its conservative critics. It subscribes to the concepts that still regard this ideal as legitimate leaning on the context of understanding the concept of originality. The specific feature of contemporary humanism is seen in the efforts to give integrity back to humans and meaningful content to human life. This is chiefly illustrated within the context of other approaches by examples of the concepts from the domain of humanistic psychology (Rogers, Maslow) and of the ethics of authenticity (Taylor); these regard the authentic expression of human nature as psychological need and ethical challenge.

The chief aim of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire to analyse the analogical and creative processes used by individuals when solving open problems. The investigation was carried out with a sample of 349 participants, ages 14 to 15 years, 147 boys and 202 girls, from both public and subsidized schools of the Community of Navarre (Spain). The employed procedure was a four-phase sequence: elaboration of the items of the questionnaire, administration of the analogical reasoning and creativity tests, training in the analogical procedure and creativity components, and solution of an open problem, responding individually to the questionnaire. Psychometric analyses revealed that the seven-item Analogical and Creative Questionnaire (ACQ) has satisfactory internal consistency, a clear factor structure, and acceptable convergent and content validity.
