I början av mitt eget kreativa utforskande återkom jag ständigt till frågan vad det egentligen är att vara kreativ. Går det att definiera en viss kreativ förmåga? Det finns ju så många kreativa personer – uppfinnare, musiker, konstnärer – så det borde ju gå att borra sig ner till en gemensam nämnare, den magiska silverkulan, en förmåga som är gemensam för alla kreativa människor.

The ten creative abilities
At the beginning of my own creative exploration, I constantly returned to the question what it really is to be creative. Is it possible to define a certain creative ability? There are so many highly creative people – inventors, musicians, artists – so it should be possible to drill down to a common denominator, the magic silver bullet, a creative ability common to all creative human beings. But the more I learned about the different aspects of creativity, the more I realised that this was a side-track. There is not a single creative ability but a whole row of them, and it’s only when several of these interact and reinforce each other as we really can utilise our full creative potential.
