ABSTRACT
The move towards multi-and inter-disciplinary research has been enormously helpful for creativity studies. It has given researchers new perspectives on the topic of creativity, and one of the lessons learned from studies of creativity is that a shift of perspective often leads to original insights. The tactic involving shifts of perspective has been used by a large number of notable creative people, and at least one theoretical analysis concluded that shifting perspectives appears to be the most powerful and generally applicable of the tactics for creative thinking (Runco, 2011).
