Useful no doubt.  Necessary - probably not.

Intelligence, remember, has many facets/aspects - creativity beingone.

Also, measures of intelligence writ large, or of any of the aspects are not
binary; the vallues fall on a spectrum - a range.

Therefor, one can have zero creativity, but be highly measured in othr
aspects.

I would not want to say that one must have *all* the aspects of intelligence
to be considered intelligent.
