Intelligence and Creativity:

(1) All cognitive endeavours require new associations to be made, or old ones to be reviewed. (2) There are marked differences between individuals in the speed with which associations are formed. (3) Speed in the formation of associations is the foundation of individual differences in intelligence. (4) Only a sub-sample of associations is relevant in a given problem. (5) Individuals differ in the range of associations considered in problem-solving. (6) Wideness of range is the foundation of individual differences in creativity. (7) Wideness of range is in principle independent of speed of forming associations, suggesting that intelligence and creativity are essentially independent. (8) However, speed of forming associations leads to faster learning, and hence to a greater number of elements with which to form associations. (9) The range of associations considered for problem-solving is so wide that a critical evaluation is needed (comparator) to eliminate unsuitable associations. (10) Genuine creativity requires (a) a large pool of elements to form associations, (b) speed in producing associations, and (c) a well-functioning comparator to eliminate false solutions.
