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. People with verbal creative skills could express themselves colorfully and creatively and might be good at writing poetry. The best way that I can put it is they make you think. Gifted people ask provocative, speculative, and hypothetical questions.
