    Both are.

    Both take imagination and imagination is intelligence.

    Yes because without curiosity how would people want to learn and discover things? If Isac Newton hadn’t been curios about gravity we would have Newtons laws of gravity today would we. And without creativity we’d have no inventions like no lightbulbs, electricity, trains, etc

    The more curious one is the less they know. So, no.

    Yes. Intelligence is measured by creativity, but also by how rapidly new ideas are absorbed. It’s possible to have a high IQ and not be very creative–just curious and knowlegeable; it’s also possible to have limited awareness and produce great things. A savant. Great question.

    Curiosity can sometimes lead to death, as in the curiosity that killed the cat. It is also a basis for invention. I have often wondered if the inventors of various types of explosives ever lived to reap a benefit from their discovery or whether it was their next-of-kin who got rich by reading the charred pages of their formula notes.

    Creativity & Curiosity of course indicates Intelligence, but the last one is not always. If someone becomes curious about a river & thinks, "Why it’s so deep; where the soils have gone?"—-then you get a complete stupid without intelligence. :-) At his childhood, Thomas Alva Edison sat on eggs to hatch—-that was not foolishness, rather that was a child’s curiosity that if the warmth of a hen could hatch eggs, why not by a man?
    You added details where you did mistake saying creativity doesn’t mean intelligence always. Without intelligence, one can’t be creative.

    * ‘Right’ curiosity is a sign of intellignece. ‘Wrong’ curiosity is the sign and product of sick minds.

    * Creativity is the product of intelligent utilization of one’s talents / skills / abilities / knowledge / opportunities.
