Blog #3 WHY?

Why do you think some people are more creative than others?
I think creativity has a maximum and minimum threshold given to each person at birth. This is similar to running speed. From the day a person is born they will only be able to achieve a certain speed no matter how hard they train and no matter how little they train they will always have a minimum speed (assuming no paralysis or loss of limb). Creativity is similiar. I look at creativity not as something that enhances talen, but as a Talent. It is just like some people are good at math, communicating, running, leading, or anything esle, some have the talent of creativity.

But like any talent it still has degrees of effect. I may have been born with a creativity rating of between 30-60 from a scale of 0-100. Einstein may have had a 50-95. Where we land may be effected by our environment and if we use our creativity. It seems rather obvious that creativity grows over time when used and fades if neglected. So I may currently have a 45 creativity rating but if I cultivate it I might get it up to a 55 or 60. But left unused it may drop down to a 30. Still I believe that most people are somewhat creative and have minimums well above a zero. On the other hand, most people are not hypercreative and have maximums well below 100. Remember this has nothing to do with talent.

Talents such as communication and music may be enhanced when used together. Also those talents may be enhanced when used with a talent such as creativity. Our creativity allows some of our other talents to become great and not just good. It seems that most things are only "good" without creativity but are "great" if that good talent also has creativity attached.
