Creativity
摘要
Creativity is a very overused term as well as a psychological construct and in its general understanding vague, if not even blurred. However, people often rely on creative ideas or moments in their problem-solving to reach their goals and be successful. No wonder that scientific psychology has taken up the study of this topic and attempted, primarily in distinction from intelligence research, to create some clarity in the definition and application of creativity. Other personality traits that accompany or even favor creative achievements, such as self-confidence or curiosity, have so far received limited interest. To be distinguished from creativity is the capacity for innovation, which requires and demands entirely different human qualities.
