| Abstract: | This article reports an incidental finding in an investigation undertaken by the author (Haylock, 1984) into aspects of mathematical creativity in 11- to 12-year-old children. The two most mathematically creative pupils in the sample of 280 were identical twin boys. Moreover, these two boys were found to have almost identical profiles in a series of assessments of some significant personality and attitude characteristics. |
