If IQs continue to rise over generation, why has the world been unable to solve basic recurrent problems? This paper argues that creativity, which is overlooked in IQ tests and showing no signs of a similar increase, may be part of the reason of why the Flynn Effect has not led to a better world. Creativity's predictive power for traditional positive outcomes, such as school or work performance, is significant but slight. However, there are other ways that creativity can help to make a better world. Two exemplar ways that are discussed in this paper are how creativity can (a) help people lead happier and more meaningful lives and (b) focus a spotlight on talented members of underrepresented groups who are overlooked by traditional measures. Both of these directions can lead to a world that is better equipped to solve larger issues.
如果智商在几代人的时间里持续上升，为什么世界仍无法解决一些反复出现的基本问题呢？本文认为，创造力在智商测试中被忽视且没有迹象表明其有类似的增长，这可能是弗林效应未能带来更美好世界的部分原因。创造力对传统积极成果（如学业或工作表现）的预测能力虽显著但很微弱。然而，创造力还有其他方式有助于创造更美好的世界。本文讨论的两个典型方式是：（a）创造力如何帮助人们过上更幸福、更有意义的生活；（b）创造力如何让人们关注到那些在传统衡量标准下被忽视的、来自代表性不足群体的有才华成员。这两个方向都能让世界更有能力解决更大的问题。
