• INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY ARE MENTAL ABILITIES. IT IS A LONG PROCESS TO GET DETAILED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE TERMS. BUT, THE

BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS THAT INTELLIGENCE IS A GENERAL CAPACITY OR ABILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL, WHEREAS, CREATIVITY REQUIRES

DIFFERENT THINKING.

• INTELLIGENCE IS INFLUENCED BY OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT. INTELLIGENCE IS WHAT ONE CAN IMPROVE BY STUDIES,

REASONING, UNDERSTANDING AND LEARNING. IT IS MOST WIDELY STUDIED IN HUMANS, BUT IT IS ALSO USED FOR ANIMALS AND PLANTS. PLANTS,

THOUGH THEY ARE NOT HUMAN BEING, THEY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. • AS A BASIC TERM, INTELLIGENCE IS A HIGH CAPACITY OF LEARNING OR UNDERSTANDING A PARTICULAR TERM. IT CAN ONLY BE DEVELOPED FROM CHILDHOOD. NO ONE IS BORN INTELLIGENT, ONE NEEDS TO WORK ON IT

AND IMPROVE HIS SKILLS.

• CREATIVITY INVOLVES DIVERGENT THINKING WITH RESPECT TO THE TRAITS OF FLUENCY, FLEXIBILITY AND ORIGINALITY OF THOUGHT PROCESS. IT MEANS

THAT CREATIVITY INVOLVES THE THINKING PROCESS IN VARIOUS FORMS WITH THE ORIGINALITY AND FLEXIBILITY IN THE THOUGHT PROCESS.

• IS A DAILY THOUGHT WHICH A PERSON ONE DAY EXPLORES OR PRODUCES. INTELLIGENCE CERTAINLY PLAYS A PART IN CREATIVE THINKING. SO

INTELLIGENCE MATTERS, IT DEMONSTRATES YOUR ABILITY TO GATHER KNOWLEDGE AND EFFECTIVELY USE IT. CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY TO GO

BEYOND THE INTELLIGENCE FRAME AND CAPITALIZE ON SEEMINGLY RANDOM CONNECTIONS OF CONCEPTS.
