The relation of the cognitive style adaptation - innovation, creativity levels, intelligence as well as personality variabies

The research study presents the results of observations on the relation of cognitive style adaptation-innovation, creativity levels, as well as traditionally understood intelligence and capacity factors of personality. Differences between adaptors and innovators are observed in relation to selected personality factors. A comparison of cognitive style among our candidates of teaching and other population files in the world is interested, too.
