MAXFIELD Smithsonian News Service _ Why do some people have one good idea after another? Are they more intelligent and tal- ented than others? Can creativ- ity be taught? Can it be hurried along a little as a deadline approaches? Does inspired thinking vary in different work? Does creativity diminish as one gets older? Creativity, as a recent Smith- sonian Institution symposium of scientists and artists revealed, is a difficult concept to pin down. Even the most innovative intrigued about how their own break- through ideas came about. Creative acts can unfold in far less dramatic ways, although innovation should not be con- fused with novelty and routine things like remembering a phone number or a name, said Dr. David N. Perkins, co-direc- tor of Harvard University’s Project Zero study of cognitive skills in the sciences and humanities. He recalls a story a friend tells of traveling with his family in France and stopping one day for a picnic in the French countryside. All the ingredients were on hand-- cheese, bread, wine, but one item was missing, a knife to cut the cheese. ‘‘So my friend though for a moment, then took out his credit card and cut the cheese with the card...Don’t leave home without it.” This “is a beautiful example of what you might call everyday creativity,” Perkins continued-- “A small, nice thing, not a Shakespearean sonnet, not the Parthenon. There is a danger of conceptualizing creativity as a kind of elitist ivory tower enter- prise.” There is also a danger in equating creativity with intellig- ence, talent and expertise, Per- kins told the symposium honor- ing the late Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, a pioneer in biopsy- chiatric research and a philan- thropist ‘whose generous dona- tions helped launch the new Smithsonian gallery of Asian art bearing his name. These traits are simply the horsepower that fuels the creative process, he said. What does seem to drive creative people are at least six shared traits that Perkins and other theorists have identified. The more of these you have, they say, the more creative you tend to be.
