There are differing views on whether creativity is innate or learned. While some research has found that most people are born creative geniuses, others argue that creativity is a skill that can be developed through practice, feedback, and honing one's craft. The document also outlines five stages of the creative process: preparation, incubation, intimation, illumination, and verification. Finally, it notes that creative people experience the world in novel ways and have a mix of introverted and extroverted qualities like energy, playfulness, intelligence, and humility.

Do you agree that creativity is a character trait people are born with?
Why / Why not? What are the common characteristics of creative people? Use specific examples to support your opinion.
Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas,
alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others. The term "creativity" has been considered in many fields, such as psychology, philosophy, art, and even business and engineering. Despite this, there is no unified, standard definition of the word "creativity". Many scientists still debate the question of whether people with creative thinking are born or made. For example, according to a study by Dr. George Land and Dr. Beth Jarman, mostly everyone, that is 98% of people to be exact, are born creative geniuses. In contrast, Chris Bennett, CEO(Chief Executive Officer) of Wonderschool argues: Creativity is a skill that can be learned and honed. People can hone their skills by creating work, presenting it, and getting feedback. Wallas, working with Richard Smith presented one of the first models of creative process in the book Art of Thought. They determined that there are five stages of creative thinking. 1 - preparation (focusing the mind on the problem, exploring its limits) 2- incubation (bringing the problem into the unconscious mind, so that nothing seems to happen) 3- intimation (feeling that a solution is on the way) 4- illumination (the idea emerges into conscious awareness) 5- verification ( a cruicial phase - consciously verifying, expanding and then applying the idea). How to determine whether a person is creative or not? Creative people are those who experience the world in novel and original ways. These are individuals whose perceptions are fresh, whose judgements are insightful, and who may make important discoveries that only they know about. They are extroverts and introverts at the same time, full of energy, playful, sometimes naive, intelligent, dreamy, etc. They are also remarkable humble and proud at the same time. In conclusion, I want to express my point of view. I think that all people can be creative, but it all depends on the environment where they are, and in particular, the people. In my opinion, in order to be creative, you need to develop all your knowledge.
