The article discusses the notions of Creativity, as a general creative ability, and Controlled Imagination, as a feature of inventive thinking. High-level inventive activity requires inventive thinking underpinned by awareness of the objective laws of systems evolution. Creativity alone is not sufficient to solve advanced inventive problems. Creativity as a general creative ability applies to three types of entities: the person, the product and the process, but it takes no heed of the evolution patterns of the product as such. TRIZ training shapes and promotes inventive thinking. TRIZ uses a modelling approach to foster the components of inventive thinking. In addition to inventive thinking, TRIZ classes propagate motivation for creativity. The article sums up the findings of a small experiment comparing creativity and inventive thinking.
