Forums → WEPR → Creativity OR Intelligence

I am happy to have half and half when it comes to this matter.

In what context dyou mean? science over music? Art over debate?

I'm not sure if I follow you here. The most creative people often tend to also be intelligent.

Intelligence is by far more important.
Creativity alone, would produce the golf cub to pee into and the rocket propelled car.
No thanks.

You can be both. Being just intelligent would make you dull with no personality. That's where the creativity comes in, it adds color to one's life.

Both are important. Without either we'd be a fail society. Scientists needed creativity to break away from the church, and artists need intelligence to be able to paint something other than a brown blob.

I think this threads a little meaningless since both creativity and intelligence go together as EnterOrion said in his examples.

I'd rather be intelligent than creative though, because I'd love to be intelligent enough to run a country or become a general in the army, rather than being able to make an art piece or something like that.

Creativity is very closely related to intelligence, hence (in the vast majority of the cases) if you are intelligent you are also creative.

My opinion is that they are the same important.

without intelligence i don't think there'd be such thing a thing as intelligence

i meant to say there wouldn't be such a thing as creativity

Creativity requires intelligence
The proper use of intelligence requires creativity.

As in more important in ALL aspects, I'd have to say intelligence. But both are important. Our world would be in the dark ages if we had not the intelligence to discover the inventions of everyday life, but we would be just as screwed without the creativity that split the church and state, the renaissance, etc. Wow I just de-convinced myself yeah they're about equal...

Both are very important, I think. I can't make my mind.

You can be the smartest person in the world. But without creativity, nothing that gives you ideas to use that intelligience to a better use, it isn't warth as much.
You have to be creative, think of a newer, better way to do things, then use intellegience to figure out how to really make it work.

-_O um this has been said but you people don't seem to understand that creativity requires intelligence. Neither can exist without the other.
