Creative intelligence
The term creative intelligence was coined by different people, which means that it has many areas of application and interpretation. Commonly, creative intelligence is the ability to innovate processes and to find independent, original solutions to familiar and unfamiliar problems. While creative intelligence is understood as productive, aesthetic intelligence describes the ability to perceive and understand aesthetic-creative phenomena.

Definition according to Luther
Michael Luther describes creative intelligence as a measurable and describable form of expression of personal creativity and the sum of individual creative preferences. Starting out from Joy Paul Guilford (see also Structure of Intellect ) and Howard Gardner (see also Theory of Multiple Intelligences ), Luther developed the 4 creative meta-strategies that can be qualitatively measured. They form the basis for the IPC (Innovation Potential Compass) developed by Luther.
4-type concept according to Gardner
Howard Gardner drew a model that outlines 4 different types of creative people. For this purpose, he studied exemplary selected people who were perceived as exceptional talents in various fields of creative work: Mozart , Freud , Woolf and Gandhi . From this, Gardner derives various forms of creatively intelligent people, citing Mozart as "master", Freud as "innovator", Woolf as "self-observer" and Gandhi as "influencer".
