“Creativity has long been considered the highest form of mental functioning and
human achievement.”
22From the Shadow of a Gentle Giant Emerged a Life Mission
“…available tests do not measure accurately creativecapacities or potentialities.”
The earlier assumption thatinclination and ability to respondin novel and useful ways, like native intelligence (creativity), were products largely of inheritance, has been refuted.”
23From the Shadow of a Gentle Giant Emerged a Life Mission
“
We now know creativity(however it is defined)
…is a form of behaviorthat basically has to be
learned.”
“
