Common Characteristics of a Creative Individual:
Creativity is the process of developing new, uncommon, or unique ideas and is one of the highest forms of human expression. E. Paul Torrance spent more than 50 years examining correlations between intelligence and creativity, ways to measure creativity, and methods for unlocking the potential within all learners to apply their ingenuity, imagination, and inventiveness (NAGC, N.D.).
The focus of the Torrance Center at the University of Georgia is in the identification and development of creative potential across the lifespan. The overarching goals of the Torrance Center are to investigate, implement, and evaluate techniques for enhancing creative thinking across domains of human enterprise and to increase creativity literacy in the local, state, national, and international community (Torrance Center, Nov. 2020)
