The document discusses key takeaways from a creativity course. It defines creativity as the ability to generate novel and useful ideas and solutions. Creative thought involves two types of reasoning: divergent thinking to generate many original ideas, and convergent thinking to logically evaluate and choose the best idea. Both are needed for creative output. The document also examines different ways creativity can be measured, including personality traits, biographical data, and direct tests of creative ability. Finally, it notes that while all people have creative potential, those recognized as creative have a certain awareness and explore relating unrelated ideas in novel ways.

Creative thought can be divided into two types of reasoning:
Divergent thinking: the intellectual ability to think of many
original, diverse, and elaborate ideas.
Convergent thinking: the intellectual ability to logically evaluate, critique and
choose the best idea from a selection of ideas.
Both abilities are required for creative output. Divergent thinking is essential to
the novelty of creative products whereas convergent thinking is fundamental
to the appropriateness.
