Which Do You Value More ~ Intelligence or Creativity? Why?

I myself would rather be creative, but i have an interesting point.

Many People confuse intelligence with knowledge, and although they are very closely linked, they are not the same thing. Intelligence may mean that you understand the concepts of your knowledge more, or it takes less for you to obtain knowledge, but it is not knowledge itself. Knowledge to me is moe important than creativity, but i would not disregard my knowledge in place of it.

 

i value creativity more than intelligence personally cos i feel it is more important to us. if u create an idea in ur head and wish to further this idea into a tangable thing, than it would be easy to draw a detailed picture of this thing and use ur creativity to construct it using what u can find or have been given. on saying this i think it can relate to anything eg. way back when, humans didnt have all the facts, and didnt know how to understand what life was or where we came from, so some creative person came up with the idea to tell it all in a story, whether using art to paint the story or words to write it down eg. the bible! everyone knows that the story of adam and eve is not meant to be taken seriously because some intelligent person discovered space and matter or whatever, but back in the day it would ve been taken seriously cos there wouldn t have been any other way to explain it. i feel humans could live without actually knowing and we could live just believing! i dunno thats what i think... im sure theres something that doesnt fit in but

 

I'm attracted to LEFT brain folks. I like a decent, friendly debate.

 

Hmm, good question, but its a simple answer for me.

I strongly belive creativity is more imporant.

because i find the more intelligent the more depressed you become, its near an impossible and painful task to try and learn every dam thing in this depressed and wrong driven world. If you have all the intelligence in the world it may do you no good, you will not be able to commuitcate easily on simple levels with others.

with creativity on the other hand, Its a hell lot easier to create your own world with your own feautres and you can connect yourself deeper to your soul and to others on levels that are beyond man's imagination.

I belive you need to create and not try to suck in all the knowlege.

Creativity= Creatition
Intelligence= pointless facts and useless knowlege.

 

Both- it what makes you who you are.

 

I completely agree with Chris.

I'd rather have creativity.

because I think creativity and knowledge are the two most important things in my life.
well, at least the two most important things which I'll keep thorough my entire life.

knowledge can be obtained, creativity can't.

and one can have knowledge without being very intelligent.
