confused,
I have seen this also. I would like to combine creativity and critical thinking. I haven't read much about creativity, but I remember that there is a phase of idea gathering, building mental models and then looking critically at the ideas. I guess we could go back to Bloom's Taxonomy - does that have enough support for your concept of creativity in it? Maybe the early ability to do abstract thought is at the base of both?
Of course no one will be uniform in their skills, their FOK, or their Thought processes. Strength in one area will tend to lap over into other areas, with a few exceptions (The classic one is trying to handwrite a "story" when one is small and full of big ideas and high standards of what a "story" is.)were the realms fight eachother.
Humm
