ABSTRACT
The concept of creativity might at first seem nebulous. In making an attempt to define what is meant by the term, it might help to draw comparisons with other akin words such as intelligence, adaptation and agency. One definition of intelligence might be ‘the ability to adapt’. Human adaptation can perhaps be said to involve the creative use of information in novel circumstances. Human intelligence and adaptability, involving the ability to identify problems, select relevant information and find solutions, are closely bound up with creativity.
