Definition

  • Children identified by creativity measures as gifted have not always produced significant creative works as adults. Indeed, it is during the college years, at the time of transition from childhood to adulthood, in a university environment rich with resources that creative individuals may be both the most vulnerable to underachievement and the most likely to develop the specific knowledge and skills needed to channel their talent into creatively productive careers.The definition of creativity is elusive.
