Are creative people more arrogant?

Looks like it:

Creativity research has suggested that creative people are low in agreeableness. To explore this issue, we applied the HEXACO model of personality structure, which offers an expanded representation of interpersonal traits, particularly a distinction between HonestyâHumility and Agreeableness. A sample of 1304 adults completed the HEXACO-60 and several measures of creative achievement and activities. Latent variable models found that Agreeableness had no relationship with creativity, but HonestyâHumility did: people lower in HonestyâHumility had higher creativity scores, consistent with past work on arrogance and pretentiousness among creative people.

This shouldn’t shock you too much; creative people are more dishonest too.
