By testing 4 (four) Guilford creativity indicators consisting of originality, elaboration or detail, fluency and flexibility in the research subject. The research subjects who were given HOTS questions and interviews were 2 male students and 2 female students. Test data were collected twice at different times and interviewed twice after giving HOTS questions. The results of the study can be concluded that, men and women fulfill 4 (four) Guilford creativity indicators. However, male students have a prominent indicator of flexibility and female students naturally have an indicator of originality. This study shows that Guilford's creativity which links cognitive and creative thinking can be tested on students' thinking abilities. There is an influence of gender on the indicators of flexibility and originality.
