Abstract	This study analyses the relationship between creativity and personality in two cultural contexts, London, England and the Greater Region of Luxembourg. A multivariate approach to creativity implies that personal and contextual characteristics influence creative performance. Is the relationship between creativity and personality the same in different cultural contexts? Within education the cultural factor might have more impact than in other environments because of the assimilation of migrant students. This study is carried out in London, England and the Greater Region of Luxembourg. The sample consists of 243 participants (199 women, 44 men, M[subscript Age] = 20.35, SD = 1.56, age range: 18-32 years). Whereas the correlation between creativity and openness is positive for non-immigrants (European), it is negative for immigrants (non-European). This highly surprising exploratory result can be related to migration. A possible mediator between creativity and openness might be individual differences linked to migration, i.e. uncertainty avoidance. Implications of results will be discussed. (As Provided).
