The present study attempts to find out the differences on creative thinking abilities and level of alienation between the students of Arts and Science Streams. The Verbal Test of Creative Thinking and Alienation-Scale were administered on 400 boys (200 each of arts and science streams) of Intermediate classes. The data indicate significant differences on creativity scores with superiority of science over arts students. No significant differences on alienation scale have been found between the students of the two educational streams. The coefficients of correlation between creativity and alienation are also not found to be significant either in arts or science as well as in combined group of students.
