==== Creativity and intelligence as overlapping yet distinct constructs ====
These concepts posit creativity and intelligence as distinct, but intersecting constructs, for example:
* In Renzulli's Three-Ring Conception of Giftedness,<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Renzulli | first1 = J.S. | year = 1978 | title = What makes giftedness? Reexamining a definition | journal = Phi Delta Kappan | volume = 60 | pages = 180–261 }}</ref> giftedness is an overlap of above-average intellectual ability, creativity, and task commitment. Under this view, creativity and intelligence are distinct constructs, but they overlap under the correct conditions.
* In the [[PASS theory of intelligence]], the planning component—the ability to solve problems, make decisions, and take action—strongly overlaps with the concept of creativity.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Naglieri | first1 = J.A. | last2 = Kaufman | first2 = J.C. | year = 2001 | title = Understanding intelligence, giftedness, and creativity using PASS theory | journal = Roeper Review | volume = 23 | issue = 3| pages = 151–156 | doi=10.1080/02783190109554087| s2cid = 144199243 }}</ref>
* Threshold Theory (TT) derives from a number of previous research findings that suggested that a threshold exists in the relationship between creativity and intelligence—both constructs are moderately positively correlated up to an IQ of ~120. Above this threshold, if there is a relationship at all, it is small and weak.<ref name="Getzels, J.
