Do "People who are creative & competent make fewer mistakes than those who are creative & incompetent?"

Question

This point was made in an A to one of my Q's about the nature of creativity. I want your argued(ie supported ) view.

Answer 1

Since both people are "creative", set that aside. Now you have people who are competent and people who are incompetent. The answer seems like a no-brainer, as making more mistakes would be the very essence of incompetence. Unless, of course, the incompetent one who makes mistakes will not admit to his mistakes and might therefore be mistakenly perceived as competent (at least for awhile). Example: GWB

Answer 2

Creativity and Competence are two faces of a coins , A creative innovations is bound by many mistakes whose ends resluts in a creative innovations , Hence as the inventions are always bound by accident , henceforth the creativity is all an outcome of mistakes and learning and a creative innovation to come out

Answer 3

I'm not too sure that incompetent people are creative, unless creating chaos and bad situations counts as creativity.

Answer 4

My Qs look more like Gs but thats when I do them in littles q g and I never got A's , but that could be because my Qs did look like Gs , Oh that isn't what you were talking about is it . Never mind ,,,

Answer 5

I think it depends on what they are doing. I personally consider myself very creative, but I try to do a million different things at once and most of them I have no idea about. I think people who are creative with the ability to focus it into one outlet are quite competent. People like myself... I'm all over the place.

Answer 6

That is an obvious statement hidden behind some fancy double talk.

That's like asking, "Are people who are creative & make fewer mistakes more competent than those who are creative & make more mistakes?"

Competence means fewer mistakes. Competence is job/subject specific. A competent pilot makes fewer mistakes than an incompetent pilot. The competent person makes fewer mistakes than the incompetent person. Hellooooooooo. People ask weak grade school questions, other people say so, and then the asker pouts about it. This one falls under the creative & incompetent category.
