Cognitive profile of students with low intellectual performance. Associations between intelligence and creativity. Summary: Students with low intellectual performance are characterized by presenting alterations in different areas of cognitive, academic and behavioral functioning, which is why it is essential to know their cognitive profiles to make curricular adjustments and achieve better development in the individual. Based on the above, the objective of this article was to identify if there is a relationship between the levels of intelligence and creativity in a group of students with low intellectual performance, based on a psychopedagogical evaluation that helps determine their educational needs. This is a quantitative and correlational research. 23 students participated (M age 9.04, SD = 1.51) from three public primary schools located in Tlaxcala, Mexico, who were referred by their teachers to a psycho-pedagogical evaluation during the 2022-2023 school year. The Raven Colored Form Progressive Matrices Test, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children WISC-IV and the Creative Thinking Test Figural Version A were applied. The results found that the Raven test correlated with the titles dimension of the creativity test (rs = .462*, sig = .027), it was also observed that perceptual reasoning evaluated with the WISC-IV was associated with total creativity (rs = .498*, sig = .016) and with the fluency indicator (rs = .482*, sig = .020). The results found that the Raven test correlated with the titles dimension of the creativity test (rs = .462*, sig = .027), it was also observed that perceptual reasoning evaluated with the WISC-IV was associated with total creativity (rs = .498*, sig = .016) and with the fluency indicator (rs = .482*, sig = .020). The previous results allow us to recognize the cognitive profile of the students and serve as a basis for intervention proposals within the classroom.
