Abstract
This study was conducted to compare team creativity and creative problem solving styles between heterogeneous and homogeneous teams. Team composition was based on the levels of openness and extraversion. The results indicated that heterogeneous teams showed higher team creativity scores than homogeneous teams. Frequency distributions of creative problem solving styles indicated that heterogeneous team members preferred developer, external, and task-oriented styles. Homogeneous team members preferred explorer and person-oriented styles. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
