Abstract

Integration of creative individuals in innovation processes is crucial, nevertheless their identification is particularly challenging. From a psychological standpoint, the importance of mental imagery in the creative process has been highlighted. This paper examines the relationship between mental imagery ability and creative ability, and identifies two categories of individuals: those who are recognized as creative (artists and inventors) and those without particular creative skills (" ordinary " individuals). The former are stronger image makers than the later. This research confirms these differences in mental imagery abilities, and mental imagery ability can be employed as an element for identifying creative individuals. Key words : Mental imagery, Creativity, Creative individuals, Mental imagery ability
