Answer 2

Creativity (or creativeness) is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts. The products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as divergent thought) usually have both originality and appropriateness. Although intuitively a simple phenomenon, it is in fact quite complex. It has been studied from the perspectives of behavioural psychology, social psychology, psychometrics, cognitive science, philosophy, history, economics, design research, business, and management, among others. The studies have covered everyday creativity, exceptional creativity and even artificial creativity. Unlike many phenomena in science, there is no single, authoritative perspective or definition of creativity. Unlike many phenomena in psychology, there is no standardized measurement technique.

Answer 4

Creativity-the ability to use the imagination to develop new and original ideas or things, especially in an artistic context,the quality of being creative

Answer 5

"the ability to bring to reality that which has never been brought before in content and especially in form"

That is, creative types are able to realize their ideas. It may be in words, in sculpture, in painting, in design, in machine, or in some other such way. But the person who is not able to realize her ideas in any way is lacking the *ability* to realize her ideas, and it seems to me fair not to call her creative until she can realize her ideas.

Creative people may "invent" interesting content, but to me, *really* creative people are also able to "invent" forms into which others plug content.

E.g., the person who created mp3 technology would be really creative, whereas each artist whose song makes it to an mp3 recording was creative but in a lesser sense than I mean above.

Creativity is almost anything from the fabrications of the powerful human mind. From the playing with words, notes, tools and any and everything.
