Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to compare creativity and psychometric IQ and to explain why creativity is often related to mental disturbances.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach taken is that of theoretical analysis.

Findings

Psychometric IQ is found to be related to low probability of neural transmission errors. On the other hand, creativity is related to the existence of some neural transmission errors, and therefore to mental disorders.

Originality/value

The findings presented in the paper may be applied to education; to the increase of both psychometric IQ and creativity.
