多年来，创造力研究得出了相互矛盾的结果。最近，这些结果被视为创造力悖论。这项研究回顾了越来越多的证据，这些证据表明，极具创造力的人倾向于同时或动态地在连续统一体的极端情况下工作，而这些极端情况被认为是相互矛盾的。更具创造力的人似乎更倾向于找到一条中庸之道，他们不是在一个连续的中点上工作，而是在两个更极端的位置上工作并将其融合在一起。本文提出了一种观点，认为这与复杂性理论，特别是复杂适应系统（CASs）的有序-混沌动态特征是一致的，并且在创造力研究中发现的悖论数量为创造力是复杂适应系统的一个特征提供了证据。将创造力理解为社会科学的一个特征，会导致对创造力和创新的新看法，这可能会导致更好的创造力增强和创新管理方法，同时也会导致识别高度创造性个体的工具得到改进。
ABSTRACT For many years, creativity research had been yielding contradictory results. More recently, these results have come to be regarded as creativity paradoxes. This research reviews a growing body of evidence that highly creative people tend to operate, either simultaneously or dynamically, at extremes along continuums, where the extremes are considered at odds with one another. More highly creative people, it seems, tend to find a middle way, not by operating at a mid-point along a continuum, but by operating at and blending two more-extreme positions. An argument is presented that this is consistent with complexity theory, particularly the order-chaos dynamic characteristic of Complex Adaptive Systems (CASs), and that the number of paradoxes discovered in creativity research provides evidence for creativity being a characteristic of CASs. Understanding creativity as a characteristic of CASs leads to a new view of creativity and innovation, which could result in better creativity enhancement and innovation management approaches while also leading to improved tools to identify highly creative individuals.
