Summary

Creativity is the ability to produce original, non-obvious works of value. This is associated with a variety of character traits and personal qualities as follows.

Discussion

For example, a random drawing with colors may be imaginative but isn't creative unless this has value. Creativity requires the ability to jump into the impractical and emerge with something valuable.
