Picture this. One’s mind is in a constant dance between order and entropy, trying to maintain a subtle balance in which a concrete equilibrium can be achieved. Within such a struggle lies the collective thoughts of experience, memory and anticipation. In the midst of this inner symphony, we are occasionally treated to a gift; inspiration. An idea. Raw, powerful, and full of potential, the individual is now given the key to it to create something new. That is creativity.
Sir Kenneth Robinson, an educationalist, defined creativity as ‘the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process, not an event. This can be said as creativity does foster the evolution of an initial idea to it’s final product. According to Professor Robert Weisberg in his book entitled ‘Creativity: Genius and other Myths[1]’ he stated that ‘There is evidence that deep immersion is required in a discipline before you produce anything of great novelty.’ It has been said that creativity is the highest form of intelligence because it goes beyond knowledge recall and extends into knowledge creation. Someone intelligent can be very knowledgeable and have excellent information recall, but creativity and innovation require some novel form of intelligence that is of a higher order. [1]

To further support this notion studies have shown that highly creative people are highly intelligent but highly intelligent people are not always creative. The fact that highly creative people have a higher correlation with intelligence than conversely suggests creativity is simply a higher form of intelligence[2]
