 Creativity involves the flexibility and originality needed to generate new ideas and solutions.

Creativity and intelligence are related but distinct concepts. While high intelligence is common among creative individuals, general intelligence does not necessarily lead to higher creativity.

Creativity is a higher level of intelligence because it often imposes a higher cognitive power as you think “harder” via different thought processes such as association, perspective-shifting, divergent thinking, etc.

Logical reasoning is often associated with convergent thinking, which involves analytic reasoning and problem-solving skills. Creativity, on the other hand, is linked to divergent thinking, characterized by the richness of ideas and originality of thought. 

Both types of thinking-convergent and divergent thinking are necessary for creative performance, although their importance varies depending on the task or occupation. For example, a mathematician might rely more on convergent thinking, while a creative might depend more on divergent thinking.

While intelligence can provide the cognitive resources necessary for learning and problem-solving, creativity involves the flexibility and originality needed to generate new ideas and solutions. Both are important, but they contribute differently to creative endeavors.
