Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality.

Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to

find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated

phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes:

thinking, then producing. If you have ideas but don’t act on them, you are

imaginative but not creative.

So intelligence matters, it demonstrates your ability to gather

knowledge and effectively use it. Creativity is the ability to go beyond the

intelligence frame and capitalize on seemingly random connections of

concepts.

Differences Between Intelligence and Creativity

Intelligence certainly plays a part in creative thinking creativity is a form

of intelligence. Not all individuals have a creative nature or the abi lity to see

things differently. Intelligence’s relation to creativity one that is vital for not

only understanding creative thinking.

For example, a

songs has a creative nature that not everyone has. Thus to me it is a form of

intelligence.

Intelligence is classically defined as “the ability to acquire and utilize

knowledge.” In testing circumstances, an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is gauged

by one’s ability to utilize information gained historically.

Creativity is the ability to come up with new ideas through a mental

process of connecting existing concepts. The ideas don’t have to be

revolutionary (which is a common misconception many people have about

creative thinking), they just have to be new for the thinker.

A few kids in a large group are not that intelligent than others. They are

not able to grasp things so easily. It is because they have not taken interest

and have not tried to improve their knowledge. It is very hard to define

intelligence because no one can measure intelligence. On the other hand,

creativity is a phenomenon where one tries to create something new or

valuable. It is the ability to cause, to exist, or to create something of subjective

value. In creativity, intelligence plays a very important role. One cannot create

anything if he is not perceived to associate with intelligence. It is the process

of producing something original and worthwhile.

There are different types of intelligence: Linguistic Intelligence,

Logicomathmatical Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Music Intelligence,

Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, Naturalistic

Intelligence, Business Intelligence, Sales Intelligence, Defense Intelligent and

many more... creativity while there is only one.
