Do you agree with Harvard that international people are more creative?

The more exposure you get to different situations, problems, scenarios and cultures the more enhanced and creative your ability to solve problems will be. Bicultural individuals scored higher than monoculturals on the different tests carried out which, as the professors put it, is good for companies.

    So do I, but I’m biased as can be:-)

    Seriously, the professors are right since living all over the world and integrating into another culture does develop your abilities enormously.

    But there are also in my opinon, ways for monocultural people that are open minded and curious to broaden their mind, be more flexible and hence increase their creativity.

      I also agree. Unfortunately for many (starting as kids), this is the nature vs. nurture debate. Some people (I believe) have the inherent ability to be more creative, while their surroundings can diminish or enhance these innate abilities. I guess, the bottom line is that some kid’s situations are better than others lending a better outcome overall (intelligence, open-mindedness, etc.)
