"Creativity is intelligence having fun." --Albert Einstein

Combating a Creativity Crisis

"KH Kim, author of the new book "The Creativity Challenge" has tested more than 270,000 people, from kindergartners to adults, looking at (among other things) their ability to come up with original ideas, think in a detailed and elaborative way, synthesize information, and be open-minded and curious -- what she considers creativity. Her research has found that Americans' creativity rose from 1966 to 1990, but began significantly declining after then."
