Studies of twins show that training and experience makes all the difference in both figural and verbal creativity. That confounds the heredity versus environment or nature versus nurture issue. Creativity is developed or squelched by environment and learning. You've mentioned figure and verbal creativity. A great deal.
Figural creativity involves visual and spatial thinking.
It is not related at all to verbal creativity. This is a common mistake in creativity research. People administer the figural test for a study that involves verbal creativity. I get upset about that. Drama and role playing involve both figural and verbal.
