Wikepedia Post on Creativity

As what my blog explores what entails creativity in people, it only made sense for me to see what the definition was on wikipedia. I added a few sentences to give a clearer definition on what I thought could further help understand the idea of creativity.

Original Post

Creativity in general is usually distinguished from innovation in particular, where the stress is on implementation. For example, Teresa Amabile and Pratt (2016) defines creativity as production of novel and useful ideas and innovation as implementation of creative ideas,^[7] while the OECD and Eurostat state that "Innovation is more than a new idea or an invention. An innovation requires implementation, either by being put into active use or by being made available for use by other parties, firms, individuals or organisations."

An innovation requires implementation, either by being put into active use or by being made available for use by other parties, firms, individuals or organisations."^[8] However, with this definition, it is easy to misunderstand innovation and creativity. Creative ability does not necessarily involve a solution - but is rather a skill to tap into our imagination. Creativity manifests differently depending on one's age, environment, and stages of life but we are all born creative and remain creative through life.

I wanted to emphasize that creative ability is within everyone, and is less about problem solving. I think it is important to understand that creative ability is attainable for everyone - rather than an inborn gift that people have or don't have.
