Chicago .- The disorder of young adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have more creativity than individuals who are not affected by this disease, according to a study by the University of Michigan (UM).
The research, coordinated by professor of psychology at UM, Holly White, says that adults with ADHD also prefer different styles of thinking and like to generate ideas, but are not good when it comes to completing tasks.
In the study, implemented in 2006 and whose findings are published in the current issue of the journal Personality and Individual Differences, involving 60 undergraduates, half of them with ADHD.
The participants answered a questionnaire about their performance in areas such as music, visual arts, culinary arts, inventions and writing. People with ADHD had better scores than individuals without the disorder.
ADHD is a neurological disorder characterized by moderate to severe distractibility, short attention span, restlessness, emotional instability and impulsive behaviors.
The researchers felt that their results could be attributed, in part because the examinees are university that can form a group of motivated people with ADHD peculiar and successful, although the study ensured that the two types of participants had similar academic achievements.
