There are totally 120 valid questionnaire replies received with its validity rated at 85.7%. In data processing and analysis, this research is designed with descriptive statistics, T-tests, one-way ANOVA analysis, Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis to analyze the results.

In view of the openness to experience, students with higher interest in scientific experiments have the parents holding higher academic levels. In view of agreeableness, students with parents of higher academic levels perform better than those with parents of lower academic levels. In view of consciousness, male students conduct less conscious behaviors than females. Students with higher interest in scientific experiments conduct better self-disciplined behaviors than those with lower interest. Students with parents of higher academic levels conduct better self-disciplined behaviors than those with parents of lower academic levels. 3. After students receive 8-week courses given by scientific experiment classrooms, students show their significant progress in the posterior tests no matter in fluency, originality, flexibility or overall creativity. 4. Students with higher interest or parents of higher academic levels perform better in fluency, originality, flexibility and overall creativity than those with lower interest or parents of lower academic levels.
