In order to have a language you need to have sounds, meanings, and grammar. Phonemes are a set of basic sounds, their have been 869 different phonemes found in human language. In order for there to be meaning you need morpheme, which is the smallest unit of language that carries meaning. In most cases these are made up of two or more phonemes. Lastly, there is grammar. Grammar is a system of rules (semantics and syntax) that takes these meanings or morphemes and allows to put words in an understandable order called sentences, which allow us to communicate with others.
Creativity is the ability to produce ideas that are both novel and valuable. There are five components to creativity which are: expertise, imaginative thinking skills, a venturesome personality, intrinsic motivation, and a creative environment. Expertise is having more knowledge therefore you can put more ideas together. Imaginative thinking skills are the ability to see things in new ways and to recognize patterns to make connections. A venturesome personality seeks new experiences rather than following. Intrinsic motivation is being motivated by a sense of pleasure not a sense of necessity. A creative environment is a positive environment which may include other colleges.
People that do well on intelligence test do well in creativity tests. Although not all creative people have a high score on intelligence tests.
