The literature on assessing and encouraging creativity in IS organizations has grown substantially in the last few years. However, large empirical analyses of behavioral creativity data are still quite limited. This study applied the two major scales used for measuring the cognitive styles associated with creative behavior in social science, Kirton's KAI (1976) and Miller's ISP (1986). Data is assessed from a sample of IS professionals who completed both of these self-report pencil and paper survey instruments. Data analysis reveals that while there are some significant differences detected between IS professionals and other business professionals, the findings are consistent with the underlying theory of both scales and previous studies in the field.
