Interesting. Could it be posited the same is true in programming languages?
I did Smalltalk for 20 years, a language that constrained you to think about things in a consistent paradigm. And I felt I was much more creative there than the handful of multi paradigm languages I use today.
I get the impression that adherents of Forth, Lisp, Haskell, also seem to claim creative empowerment with these single paradigm languages.
I'm not sure how one would make this observation less anecdotal. I'm also not sure that I'm not mixing causation with correlation in my observation (e.g. supposing my thesis is valid, it may just be that more creative people are drawn to single/consistent paradigm platforms).
