A series of skills are more and more valued in the educational context than cognitive ones. The constructs of creativity and socio-emotional competencies are some of them and were the focus of the study. The aim was to investigate the relationship between both constructs in 362 students from the 3rd (n = 168) and 5th year (n = 194) of Elementary School. That sample was composed of 8 and 15-year-old students (M = 10.3; SD = 1.33) and 180 female, from 13 different municipal public schools in Pernambuco, Brazil. The students answered two creativity tests (figural and verbal) and another that assesses six socio-emotional competencies (openness to experiences, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, external locus of control, and neuroticism). The results indicated significant and positive correlations between figural creativity and three socio-emotional competencies (conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experiences, and locus of control) and between verbal creativity and two socio-emotional dimensions (conscientiousness and agreeableness). Although constructs have shown some commonality, the importance of stimulating both in the educational context is relevant, given the positive results related to these skills, considered essential in the 21st century.
