Why are people more creative than others?

     Creativity is defined as the ability to come up with new and useful ideas. Its a trait that everyone posseses, some people better than others. The website mentioned two different creativity traits called "little-c" and "big-c." Little-C refers to making a joke and Big-C refers to writing a speech. Creativity involves a "complex interplay between spontaneous and controlled thinking." They conducted an experiment on how different parts of the brain are used while developing complex creative thoughts. The three parts analyzed on the website were Default Network, Executive Control, and Salience Network. Different regions of the brain are responsible for different functions. People that can co-activate these different regions are more likely to be more creative and innovative. So the question arises are some people more creative than others?

    While more research needs to come out on this, Personally I think, yes. People that have more creative hobbies are going to see the world differently and have their own idea about things and what they can be used for. For instance a sock. Socks are used to put on your feet. But someone might have a totally different perception about what socks are used for. Thinking outside of the box and searching for answers is the key to creativity.
