As well as multistage random sampling method, 110 students were selected from among high school students in Tehran. To collect data, abed creativity questionnaire (TC) was used. For the analysis of the data, descriptive and inferential statistics (person correlation coefficient, independent t) was used. The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient showed that, there is a correlation 0/60 between identical twins. The correlation creativity in non‌identical twins in a negative way, and in siblings showed no correlation. This difference may be due to differences intheir environment. The results of linear regression analysis showed that 37 percent change in the creativity score the second pair by first pair identical twins is unjustified. But this amount is about 27 percent of non-identical twins. The difference is in the explanation may be related to heredity.
