This study aimed to investigate the influence of personality and empathy on adolescents' creativity in rural and urban areas . The survey method was used to collect data from 100 participants aged between 13 to 19 years old. The participants were selected from both rural and urban areas using a random sampling technique. The study utilized three standardized instruments: the empathy scale, Baquer Mehendi Creativity Scale, and the 16 PF Personality Inventory. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including correlation, etc. The findings revealed that personality traits such as openness to experience, extraversion, and emotional stability were positively correlated with creativity. Moreover, creativity was found to significantly influence personality among adolescents, with higher levels of creativity associated with higher personality levels. Interestingly, the study also found that rural adolescents had significantly higher levels of empathy and creativity than their urban counterparts. Overall, the study highlights the importance of personality and empathy in fostering creativity among adolescents and suggests that environmental factors should also be considered when examining the relationship between these variables. The findings of this study have implications for educators and parents in developing strategies to enhance creativity among adolescents in both rural and urban areas.
