'This book is the result of a complete reformation of what we know of creativity. The theory is well-founded within biological and psychological research, the measure is one of the most psychometrically sound instruments available, and the implications are immense for fields as varied as human resources management, strategic planning and the marketing of new consumer goods. Dr Kirton's treatment shows erudition, judgement and painstaking attention to scientific detail.' – Gordon Foxall, Cardiff University

'This broad-ranging book represents the fruits of a career's research and consultancy experience. If it does not persuade you that psychology has got a lot to offer organisations in a period of unprecedented change, then nothing will.' – Peter Herriot, Birkbeck College, London University
