    Creative intelligence? I've never heard this compound noun before, so it means nothing to me at the moment.

    I'm going to post my responses to the questionnaire here, if that's fine with you:

    ABOUT YOU.
    Name: Scott offline, Kobra online

    Age: 19

    Sex: M

    Nationality: American

    Another other info you’d like to add: Atheist, writer, ranter, programmer, and crappy artist

    ABOUT CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE
    Are you familiar with the concept of multiple intelligences? I've taken the test in middle school. I recall scoring almost 0 in music.

    What does the term “creative intelligence” mean to you? I've never heard the term, so I have no preexisting misconceptions about it. I would imagine that you're talking about what I would call true intelligence: The ability to create and interpret patterns in various ways, rather than the commonplace definition of intelligence which basically amounts to regurgitating information.

    What difference would being more creatively intelligence make to your life? My life would be, as a whole, unaffected by being more intelligent in any capacity. I might have an easier time succeeding with my goals, but I'm tenacious enough to where I would succeed eventually anyway.

    Does the phrase “Creative Living” mean anything to you? Nope.

    ABOUT YOUR CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE
    A short creative biography (first memory of creative activity, favourite childhood activities, favourite adult activities, what you long to do now etc. etc.) My mind is like a sponge and my ability to comprehend abstract concepts is above average. As a result, my educational experience typically involved 10 minutes of getting all the answers right followed by 35 minutes of reading or drawing because there was never anything else to learn that day and my teachers were pricks. My first creative activity? I can't say, but when I was small, if I didn't know the name of something, I would give it a name. I believe I called the washing machine a Krumpa-krumpa. Fast forward to 2009, I have a short list of conceptual inventions that I plan on patenting and releasing for public consumption; primarily but not exclusively in the field of alternative energy.

    Would you like to be “more” creative? Yes.

    Why? New ideas are the only things we have the power to truly create (except the occasional atom in a physics laboratory).

    If you were, what would you be doing/feeling that you aren’t doing/feeling now? If I were more creative, I might have a witty response to this question.

    Would you like to increase the amount of time you devote to creative activity? I don't devote time to creative activities. When it comes to invention ideas, they come to me at random, usually while daydreaming. When it comes to writing or drawing, that happens only when I have a spare moment and feel like making something.

    Would you like to deepen your creative response? Uhhh... sure.

    Would you like to deepen your understanding of the creative process? There is no process.

    ABOUT THE CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE BLOG
    What would you most like to see covered in a blog devoted to the topic of Creative Intelligence? I don't feel strongly about this at all. The only blogs I read on a daily basis are science related.

    What would be most useful to you? A step-by-step guide to getting things patented without spending a fortune doing so would be great at the moment.

    What would be most entertaining for you? Dark humor, philosophy, etc.

    What would make you come back for more? Scientific interest. Specifically, if you were posting the results of experiments and blogging about extrapolations of the data.
