Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the
creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of
making something new. From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought are usually considered to have
both originality and appropriateness. Creativity has been attributed variously to divine intervention, cognitive
processes, the social environment, personality traits, and chance. The study of the mental representations and processes
underlying creative thought belongs to the domains of psychology and cognitive science. There has been debate in the
psychological literature about whether intelligence and creativity are part of the same process or represent distinct
mental processes. Researchers have found out that the relationship between creativity and intelligence is positive. The
creative tests came into existence to assess variation in terms of the potential for creativity in contrast to intelligence.
