I love Creativity

Rowe (2004) suggested the following four styles of Creative Intelligence that may pertain to aspects of personality that can drive towards achieving outstanding results.

• Intuitive – focuses on results and relies on past experience to guide actions;


• Innovative – concentrates on problem-solving, is systematic, and relies on data;


• Imaginative – able to visualize opportunities, is artistic, enjoys writing, and thinks “out of the box”;


• Inspirational – focuses on social change and giving of self toward that end.

Isaksen & Treffinger (1985) devised a simple screening tool called 4I's to help determine whether a problem is a good match for the Creative Problem Solving Process.

• Influence- are you in a position to impact or change the situation? authority to implement the situation?


• Imagination- does the problem require creative thinking and do you desire new thoughts or approaches for the situation?


• Interest- is this an important problem, and require need to spend time explicitly working on it?
  
• Immediacy- does situation require attention now or in near future?
