摘要：AbstractThe main problem of this research was to identify personality characteristics of students whom teachers perceive to be creative and to the characteristics of good students. Polish Adjectives List composed of sixty adjectives measured on the seven-point Likert scale was used twice – to describe creative and good students. A large sample of Polish teachers (N=630) participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analyses were applied to confirm five-factor structures of profiles. It showed an acceptable fit of the five-factor solutions in case of creative and in case of good students. Five identified factors were: dynamism, intellect, excitability, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Scale reliabilities were high (Cronbach's α exceeds .80). Creative students were perceived as more dynamic, intellectual, and excitable and less agreeable and conscientious than good students. Effect sizes ranged from low and medium to large. The fact that the perceived profile of creative students is significantly different from good ones has consequences for our understanding of creative students’ situation in a classroom. As those profiles only partially overlap, some students with creative characteristics are in a worse situation in the classroom if they lack the ‘good student’ characteristics.
