  4. In search of one definition a man name Mel Rhodes (1961) determined that creativity was better defined through a system of four Ps; the creative Person, Process, Press (environment), and the creative Product. Later, an early pioneer in the field and a mathematician, Ruth Noller, developed this elegant equation: Creativity equals the function of an attitude multiplied by knowledge, imagination, and evaluation.  C= fa(KIE) The most widely used working definition within the field is "novel and useful" or in other words, the production of original ideas that serve a purpose. From the International Center of Studies in Creativity at Buffalo State University in New York
