Our purpose for this correlational, cross-sectional, exploratory study was to explain the strength and direction of the relationships between rankings on international tests of academic achievement and indicators of national creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Data were collected from rankings on international indices that measure the vocational competencies of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship and rankings from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1995 and 1999 and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2000 and 2003 mathematics rankings for G20 member countries. Results from this study suggest that rankings on international tests of mathematics administered in 1995, 1999, 2000, and 2003 do not correlate with rankings of G20 countries on recent indices of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
