Which of the following statements about creativity is true?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When assessing statements about creativity, it’s helpful to compare them against what research typically shows across domains.
Option 1: 'In such fields as lyric poetry, abstract math, and theoretical physics, the peak of creativity is often reached in the late seventies or eighties.' This claim is overly uniform across disparate fields; creativity patterns vary by domain, and many fields do not uniformly peak at such late ages. Some domains do show sustained or even early-life breakthroughs, so this statement is too generalized to be true.
Option 2: 'Researchers have found that creativity peaks in adulthood and then declines.' This aligns with literature suggesting that while creativity can flourish with experience and knowledge in adulthood, certain creative output may diminish in some measures as cognitive resources or novelty-seeking shift, making this a plausible generalization across several domains. It captures a commonly observed pattern rather than an absolute rule.
Option 3: 'Typically, the most productive creators in any field are hardly as prolific as their least productive counterparts.' This is the opposite of what we would expect; typically the most productive individuals excel far beyond the least productive ones, so this claim is contradicted by performance distributions in creative work.
Option 4: 'In such fields as philosophy and history, older adults often show less creativity than they did when they were in their thirties and forties.' While experience can influence certain kinds of creativity, declaring an across-the-board decline in these fields is too sweeping; many philosophers and historians generate influential work later in life, so this statement is not universally accurate.
