Discuss the similarities and differences between current views on the nature and assessment of intelligence and creativity
What will be an ideal response?
Both are influenced to a considerable extent by experience. Both apparently are based largely on normal, conscious problem-solving processes. Both may be conceptualized in terms of broad traits or specialized abilities.
Intelligence is most often defined in such a way that it seems to depend on convergent thinking; creativity on divergent thinking. Regarding measurement, intelligence test items are more likely to require particular correct answers; creativity tests are more open-ended but are mediocre predictors of creative achievement in the real world. Intelligence tests are modest predictors of vocational achievement but pretty good predictors of school achievement. Manifestations of intelligence and creativity in the real world are both subject to considerable influence by many factors other than intelligence and creativity, including situational factors, training, motivation, and personality. In addition, intelligence and creativity are somewhat related to each other.
