A Consensual Definition of Creativity • A Product or response is creative to the extent that appropriate observers independently agree it is creative. • Appropriate observers are those familiar with the domain in which the product was created or the response articulated. • Thus creativity can be regarded as the quality of products or responses judged to be creative by appropriate observers, and it can also be regarded as the process by which something so judged is produced.
