Abstract

Creative is an important trait in improving all aspects of our lives; yet, because it
cannot be easily quantified, it is given too little attention in our schools.
Creativity is a form of problem solving that relies on being able to first identify
problems then redefine them. Some personal traits or characteristics are more
amenable to creativity than others; however, all can improve their ability to
think creativity through the use of creative thinking skills and by understanding
the process of creativity.

Abstract

Creative is an important trait in improving all aspects of our lives; yet, because it cannot be easily quantified, it is given too little attention in our schools. Creativity is a form of problem solving that relies on being able to first identify problems then redefine them. Some personal traits or characteristics are more amenable to creativity than others; however, all can improve their ability to think creativity through the use of creative thinking skills and by understanding the process of creativity.
