You know, I like your discussion of creativity. I never considered myself creative.. I can solve problems like a mfer, but can't even draw a stick figure that's in proportion, have no ability to paint anything but a solid color.. but I suppose I am discounting the mechanical problem solving I've done to perform a task when I don't have the appropriate tool, or fix something with parts that were not otherwise intended for the purpose. I guess someone could easily look at my McGuyver skills and say it is creativity.

I also wouldn't entirely conflate the ability to draw with creativity. Drawing, painting and other things like them are also physical skills that require training in addition to the creative aspect.
