Creative Salt & Pepper

Creativity is the ability to improve, where by through improvement value is added. What counts as "improved" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the innovation occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways, but usually through its comparative uniqueness.
Scholarly interest in creativity ranges widely: the relationship between creativity and general intelligence; the mental and neurological processes associated with creative activity; personality type and creative ability; creativity and mental health; creativity in education; and ways of fostering creativity through training and technology.
Creativity and creative acts are therefore studied across several disciplines - psychology, cognitive science, education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business studies, and economics. As a result, there are a multitude of definitions and approaches.
