We introduce the Bonferroni-Hamming weighted distance (BON-HWD), Bonferroni OWA distance (BON-OWAD), Bonferroni OWA adequacy coefficient (BON-OWAAC) and Bonferroni distances with OWA operators and weighted averages (BON-IWOWAD). The main advantages of using these operators are that they allow the consideration of different aggregations contexts to be considered and multiple comparison between each argument and distance measures in the same formulation. An application is developed using these new algorithms in combination with Pichat algorithm to solve a group decision-making problem. Creative personality is taken as an example for forming creative groups. The results show fuzzy dissimilarity relations in order to establish the maximum similarity subrelations and find groups according to each individual’s creative personality similarities.
