The purpose of this study is to explore whether there are differences in Big Five
personality traits, and domain specific creativity according to majors. This study involved 153
college students majoring early childhood education, and 150 college students in the
department of architecture. Correlation analysis, ANOVA and MANOVA were conducted to
examine the relationship among Big five personality factors and domain specific creativity
factors. The Results are as follows; First, openness was closely related to all domains of
domain specific creativity. Second, score of agreeableness of early childhood education
students was significantly higher than architecture students. However, score of openness of
early childhood education students was significantly lower than that of architecture students.
Third, early childhood education students had a significantly higher score in music-writing
creativity, while architecture students had a significantly higher score in machine-science
creativity. Forth, seniors had a significantly higher score in agreeableness and everyday
creativity compare to freshmen or juniors. Finally, interactive effects between major and
school year in scholarly creativity were examined, Early childhood education students’ results
showed that seniors had a lower score compare to freshmen or juniors. However for
architecture students, seniors had a higher score compare to freshmen or juniors. These results
indicate that there is a significant difference in some factors of Big five personality, and
domain specific creativity according to majors.
