Question 99

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Creativity is a function of novel, useful, and potentially valuable ideas.
Statement II: Creativity is a complicated and multidimensional concept with many components, such as knowledge, cognition, personality, intelligence and motivation.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Creativity is employing original ideas in creating something worthwhile. If a process is not useful, however novel the idea may be, it can pass off as imagination. In essence, 'usefulness' in this context can be defined as being a combination of feasibility and impact. In a business or entrepreneurship context, creativity can lead to the birth of new products or new startups, which are both valuable. Statement I is correct.

Statement I highlights the definitive meanings of creativity. Statement II dives into what influences creativity. It mentions creativity to be a "complicated and multidimensional concept with many components," influenced by knowledge, cognition, personality, intelligence and motivation. These are all factors that also influence individual capacity for thought, and by implication, creativity. Statement II is also correct. 

The correct answer, therefore, is option A.
