Higher divergent thinking

Among artists in the study by Edward Necka and Teresa Hlawacz, those scoring higher on the tests of divergent thinking tended to display higher levels of briskness, activity and endurance.

Briskness by quickly responding to stimuli, high tempo of activity, and the ability to switch between actions.

Activity is the generalized tendency to initiate numerous activities that lead to greater stimulation.

Endurance is the capacity to behave efficiently and appropriately in spite of intense external stimulation or regardless of the necessity to pay attention during prolonged periods of time.
