What is Creativity?



George Bernard Shaw quotes: “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”














Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: Ability to produce something new through imaginative skill, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form. The term generally refers to a richness of ideas and originality of thinking. Psychological studies of highly creative people have shown that many have a strong interest in apparent disorder, contradiction, and imbalance, which seem to be perceived as challenges. Such individuals may possess an exceptionally deep, broad, and flexible awareness of themselves. Studies also show that intelligent has little correlation with creativity; thus, a highly intelligent person may not be very creative.
