Creativity research has suggested that creative people are low in agreeableness. HEXACO distinguishes between Honesty-Humility and Agreeableness. In 1304 adults, XAgreeableness had no relationship with creativity, but low levels of XHonesty-Humility were associated with higher creativity scores, supporting a link of arrogance and pretentiousness to creativity.
