There are only two categories of creativity

Big-C creativity can lead to a greater number of mini-c insights

Ideas relating to mini-c may occasionally inspire concepts that might be considered by some people as examples of Big-C thinking

A new idea that leads to the creation of a new product that sells one billion units in its first five years on the market would most likely be

An example of Big-C creativity

An example of mini-c creativity

None of the other answers is correct

Some other category of creativity

A professional who discovers how to use a smartphone app to avoid being late for meetings

Is demonstrating mini-c creativity

Two of the other answers are correct

Is being lazy rather than creative

Is using the left-brain more than the right-brain

What is the likely relationship between creativity and emotional intelligence?

Creativity is likely a sub-skill possessed by all people with high emotional intelligence

Creative people are likely to be more emotionally intelligent

High emotional intelligence may inhibit creative thinking

Emotional intelligence and creativity are likely to be mostly unrelated

How is creativity likely related to solving business problems?

At least two of the other answers may be correct

Creative thinking helps individuals to come up with more ideas, some of which may ultimately be helpful for solving the problem

Creative thinking may help people to identify ideas from other fields or industries that could be relevant to a current problem

Creative thinking may help people to ignore long-held assumptions that are associated with the status quo

The ability to engage in creative thinking is

Possibly reduced in people who have had more years of formal education

Probably limited only by people’s beliefs in themselves

Probably developed during early childhood and mostly unchangeable by the time people reach early adulthood

Likely greater in people who have spent more time in other countries

The relationship between creativity and workplace ethicality suggests that

Leaders keen to create ethical climates within their organisations should deter all manner of creative thinking

Employees who wish to develop their own creative thinking skills are effectively raising the chances that they will behave inappropriately or even illegally

Leaders who support creativity are knowingly ignoring unethical behaviour

Organisations that have policies supporting creative thinking may also inadvertently be promoting the pursuit of results by unethical means

What is the likely relationship between creativity and mental health?

People with higher levels of creativity such as geniuses are substantially more prone to mental illness

Poor mental health is almost certainly causally implicated in boosting unusual and therefore more creative thinking

People who can engage in more creative thinking may be able to solve personal and interpersonal problems more successfully, helping to lift their mental health

Creativity and mental health are likely two unrelated concepts

None of the other answers is correct

Leaders are unethical and deliberately choosing to report that they engage in supportive leadership behaviours when they clearly know that they are not

Employees are the best judges of the extent to which they feel supported by leaders

Leaders typically have not had the training that allows them to train employees in creative thinking
