The relationship between creativity and intelligence is a frequent topic of research and debate in the social sciences. In this chapter, we use Sternberg's framework for examining the definitions of creativity and intelligence and how they may be related. Sternberg's model suggests five possible relationships: Creativity as a subset of intelligence; intelligence as a subset of creativity; creativity and intelligence as overlapping sets; creativity and intelligence as coincident sets; and creativity and intelligence as disjoint sets. In the following sections, we provide examples of each type of relationship. The last two categories, coincident and disjoint sets, are quite rare and are not described in this chapter.
