What you get from me will be a shadow of a shadow.<br /><br />But as I understand it, your position on the scale depends on to what degree you understand, accept and deal with implicit or explicit constraints, in relation to a (creative, but in fact, any) task.<br /><br />The highly innovative person doesn't see the constraints, and in extreme form, doesn't see constraints on dress, behaviour, appearance etc. So the mad scientist who has a big heap of kit on his desk, with a big counting device counting oscillations of a little bit of crystal, says "look, it's a wristwatch" because, in principle, it is, and the turning on the idea into a working protoype is just details.<br /><br />At the other end of the spectrum, turning the first car into a modern automobile requires a heap of adaptive creativity. At all times, all the changes were constrained to result in a car.Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-20793221820641827092009-12-02T16:12:05.092+00:002009-12-02T16:12:05.092+00:00Oooh yes more on adaptive versus innovative creati...Oooh yes more on adaptive versus innovative creativity huge please!!!!!!!!Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-11844912156840875092009-12-02T15:58:11.678+00:002009-12-02T15:58:11.678+00:00I want to find out about adaptive and innovative c...I want to find out about adaptive and innovative creativity - that sounds really interesting!
