In some models, intelligence has been described as a multidimensional construct comprising both analytical and creative abilities.

According to the Geneplore model (Finke, Ward, & Smith, 1992), there are two phases of creativity--generating an idea and exploring the implications of the idea--each with different underlying cognitive processes. These two phases are…
