Creativity

What is the difference between creativity and intelligence?



I believe that intelligence and creativity are two completely different concepts. Creativity is processed in a completely separate area of the brain and means something totally different. Creativity is being able to think outside of the box to make something that is amazing. People who are creative don't care what other people think and just go with there intuition.
People who are intelligent can be creative but people who are creative don't have to be what our society calls "intelligent".
Studies that have been done on exceptionally creative scientists, inventors, and engineers show that they all have a few traits in common. They are usually intrinsically motivated and are their own toughest critic. They know a lot of information and try to obtain a lot of knowledge. They have the ability to try new things and see things in different ways; they don't have a problem with fixation. They are persistent and don't give up after the first fifty tries. Also they like to work and groups and be supported by their colleagues or friends.
If you don't have all of these traits that doesn't mean you aren't creative. It comes in many different packages and forms waiting to be explored. Creativity isn't a tangible thing that either you have or you don't. It is something that you have to embrace and explore.
