whats the difference between being imaginative and being creative????

Answer 1

We all use our imaginations. When we make something as a result we are creative.

Answer 2

When you are imaginative you are using your imagination to create something. When you create something, you are producing it. (These are the technical differences.)

In terms of connotation, someone who is imaginative is using make-believe or fantasy-related ideas. Someone who is creative is using more practical ideas. I also think of imaginative as being unique... the first person to come up with that idea or thing, where creative could be adapting something that already exists.

Answer 3

Imaginative is when someone uses their mind. Creative is when someone creates something.

You can use your imagination as input to your creation but you could just as easily use someone elses ideas in your creativity and therefore not be using your own imagination.

Answer 4

in being creative you use your imagination, but you try to make something out of your ideas. so they are connected in a way!

Answer 5

It's not the same, Imagine ( like John Lenon's song ) it's something you are thinking about. But Creative, it's hands-on experience. Put them together, and it will be awesome...lol

Answer 6

An imaginative persn just thinks up cool stuff a creative person thinks up and makes cool stuff.

Answer 7

Its putting your imagination into action whether it be in a song or a story or even poetry.

Answer 8

ingenious is fixing a difficulty with constrained elements or lacking elements yet being ingenious is a loose hand to do inspite of with what ever along with your own abilities. Smooches
