On the importance of connecting innovation with creativity…
“All innovation begins with creative ideas. Successful implementation of new programs, new product introductions, or new services depends on a person or a team having a good idea-and developing that idea beyond its initial state.”
~Amabile, Conti, Coon, Lazenby, & Herron, 1996, p. 1154.
In 1999, researchers Sternberg and O’Hara provided the pioneering framework of five possible relationships between creativity and intelligence:
-
Creativity is a type of intelligence
-
Intelligence is a type of creativity
-
Creativity and intelligence are overlapping constructs (they have some traits in common)
-
Creativity and intelligence are part of the same construct (they’re basically the same thing)
-
Creativity and intelligence are distinct constructs (there is no relationship between them)
