Ac- cording to the social value of the creative product, creativity is divided into Little-c and Big-C. In this paper, two empirical investigations showed that the relationship between formal education and creativity (“Big-C” “Little-c”) is not a linear, but a complex one. For the leaders, their eminent achievement is negatively related to the formal education, whereas for the creators the relation- ship was best described as a single-peaked function, with the peak appearing somewhere in the last year of their undergraduate education. The results indicated that formal education cannot have a simple positive linear association with creativity, and under certain circumstances their association can become negative.
