What is creativity?

“Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others.”

“Three reasons why people are motivated to be creative:

need for novel, varied, and complex stimulation
need to communicate ideas and values
need to solve problems”

From Human Motivation, 3rd ed., by Robert E. Franken
