Abstract—Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) influences supported the process approach at present, we took this
dopamine concentration in the pre-frontal cortex (PFC). The G/A scientific standpoint as our theoretical footstone.
transition in the exon 4 of T gene, which results in a
valine (Val) to methionine (Met) amino acid substitution Creativity and divergent thinking are incorporated into
(Val158Met), can bring on different enzymatic activities. Much intelligence in some intelligence models [9, 10, 11]. And as the
research has found that the Met/Met genotype associated with process approach assumed, creativity is normally distributed in
low enzymatic activity and may enhance cognitive function. Our the population which is also similar as intelligence. Therefore,
research aimed to test the association T genotype creativity should also have a strong ic basis as
and creativity. We applied one-way ANOVA to detect the effect intelligence. However, there were little researches about the
of T genotypes to creative ability and creative potentials ic basis of creativity and its heritability until now
