CreativityCreate > creativity; creative thinkingCreative thinking is “the ability to bring something of new existence.” (Webster’s Dictionary 1976)“Creativity is the making of new and rearranging of the old.” (Mike Vance, 1995)“Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different.” (Wycoff, 1995)“Something or some process that is original, novel, newly thought of, and in some cases as being useful.” (Amabile, 1999)

“Looking at what everybody else is looking but thinking of what nobody else has thought”
(A.S Goyrgy)“Bringing together ideas that were previously unrelated”“The process of producing something is both original & worthwhile”
(Sternberg, 1996) “Bringing together ideas that were previously unrelated”
David Perkins (1996)
“An idea is creative if that person (the creator) could not have had that idea before.”
Margaret Boden (1990)
“Creativity is the ability to produce work that is novel (original, unexpected), high in quality and appropriate (Lubart, 1994; Osche 1990; Sternberg 1999)
“Creativity is extra/ordinary, original and fitting, full-filling, in(ter)ventive, co-coperative, un/conscious, fe/male, re…creation.” (Rob Pope, 2005)

Creativity approaches • Mystical approaches• Pragmatic approaches• Psychodynamic approaches • Psychometric approaches• Cognitive approaches• Social-personality approaches• Confluence approaches(Sternberg & Lubart, 1999)
![Page 8: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mystical approaches• Associate to mystical belief and
spirituality; e.g. ‘Daemon’ inside the writer’s pen.
• Creative person = empty vessel (a divine would fill with inspiration).
• Without ‘scientific spirit’.
![Page 9: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pragmatic approaches• Lacking of (or no) scientific study
(psychological theory) while focus on the commercial success.
• e.g. Edward de Bono who concern on the practice, not the theory, Osborn (brainstorming), von Oech (role adopting) etc.
![Page 10: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Edward de Bono (1)• Popular with ideas and concepts of
lateral thinking (vs. vertical thinking), PMI, PO (provocative operation = hypothesis, suppose, possible & poetry), Six Hats (green hat > creative).
• de Bono: Do not ever say TINA (there is no alternatives).
![Page 11: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

– I am Right You Are Wrong (1990).– Handbook for the Positive Revolution
(1991).– Six Action Shoes (1992).– Serious Creativity (1992).– Sur/petition (1992) etc.

Psychodynamic approaches
• Creativity arises from the tension between conscious reality and unconscious drives.
• However it is still lacking of scientific spirit, more rely on case study.
![Page 13: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Psychometric approaches• Unusual Uses Test, Torrance Tests
of Creative Thinking etc.

Creativity & IQ• Many creative persons have
average IQs; no correlation between ‘intelligence’ and ‘creativity’.
![Page 21: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Creativity & academic

1960s.• Getzel & Jackson (1958, 1962): High
creative + high IQ = ‘overachieve’ for their intelligence.
• Influences of gender, SES, nature of creativity & academic avhievement, intelligence.
![Page 22: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Creativity & families (1)
• Major scope of variables (time-base development): Family tree/genetic, family history (parental loss, family crises etc.) and family climate (parenting style etc.).
• No clear evident on heritability of creativity.
• Writers, in particular, sought less social companionship as children.
![Page 24: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Creativity & families (2)
• Family history findings: Father loss, firstborn, humor and play at home etc.
• Family climate findings: ‘Unisex’ role, distressful family, independence from parent (especially mother) etc.
• Csikszentmihalyi: Even 20% females & 30% males of subjects loss father, families supported & nurtured children’s self- confidence. Families families exposed them to a stimulating & rich environment.

1 Csikszentmihalyi: What we call creativity is constructed through and interaction between producers and audiences. Creativity is not the product of single individuals, but of social systems making judgements about individuals’ product.
![Page 32: The concept, scope and theory of creative thinking. * Creative personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816057550346895dcf7ffb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The word success is an ambiguous word. Success with respect to the outside? Or success with respect to oneself? And if it is a success with respect to the outside, then how do you evaluate it? Very often outside success is irrelevant, wrong, and misplaced. So how can one talk about it? Externally, you may think I am successful because people write about some aspects of my work. But that is an external judgment. And I have no idea as to how to value that judgment.
Success is not one of my motives. Because success stands in contrast to failure. But not worthwhile effort in one’s life is either a success or a failure. What do you mean by success? You take a problem and you want to solve it. Well, if you solve it, in a limited sense it is a success. But it may be a trivial problem. So a judgment about success is not something about which I’ve ever been serious about in any sense whatever.”
(Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, the Nobel laureate physicist; American; he wrote The Mathematically Theory of Black Holes (1983), Truth and Beauty: Aesthetics and Motivations in Science (1987) etc.)
