20. CONCLUSION
creativity, Ability to produce something new through
imaginative skill, whether a new solution to a problem,
a new method or device, or a new artistic object or
form. The term generally refers to a richness of ideas
and originality of thinking. Psychological studies of
highly creative people have shown that many have a
strong interest in apparent disorder, contradiction, and
imbalance, which seem to be perceived as
challenges.
