Do you think creativity is more important than intelligence?

Yes. You get these people, 200 IQ's, perfect GPA's and stuff..yet they are so boring you just want to kill yourself. They are the people who fail in life.
I would much rather be what i am, substandard but with an imagination.

In a fanciful world, but what pays the bills? There's a reason we're called 'Starving Artists' and not 'Starving Scientists'

Both are valuable characteristics, and I wouldn't say one is necessarily better than the other.

i think you need both, you can't be successful with one but not the other.

I'm one of those guys with the high IQ and no conversation.
I used to be all high and mighty about intellectual superiority until I met my old boss. He's a multimillionaire with no qualifications very pronounced dyslexia, but an eye for stage lighting. As a businessman he's awesome as he is able to think creatively around problems where folks like me say " you can't do that".
I rapidly came to the conclusion that it takes both types of thinkers. He can visualise the big, hairy, audacious goal and I can work out the steps to get there.

i think it is equal in importance. what is really important is common sense. everything else is just extra gifts.

I pity the foo's that don't use C-A-L-L A-T-T, it's free for you and cheap for them. GRAHHH!
hehe. Remember that commercial? It just popped into my head when I saw your question (specifically the word foo's)
In response to your question, I think it depends on what you're doing and both are important for society. For example, if people didn't think outside of the box and creatively, many inventions wouldn't have been invented because it took creative solutions to different problems for them to become born. That being said sometimes you need someone who is able to look at something for exactly what it is and not see all these unique and creative things and just be able to see x and do y and as a result be able to focus and become darn good at doing Y. I don't want anyone getting creative with insides for example.

I enjoy talking with intelligent people. I know that when I enter into a relationship it has to be with somebody who is more intelligent than I am.
But I enjoy watching someone who is creative make something–a picture that they paint, a vase that they sculpt, anything that somebody is capable of creating fascinates me since I am totally without a creative bone in my body!
I am intelligent–but I also have a head full of common sense–and that's what makes somebody like me unique. A lot of intelligent people do not have much common sense and don't know enough to come in out of the rain without being told to.
But it's my intelligence that makes me seek out others who are more intelligent than I am–in order to have interesting conversations!

obviously yes ,,,intelligence is hereditary what we recieve in our "dna's" and creativety is what we develop from our intelligence…ok it's a fact that a intelligent person has a potential to be creative..so if he uses it then he can do anything as e=mc^2 ..lol
