Creative problem solving is a mental process that results in a new, unique solution to a problem. It includes all steps up to and including the ability to arrive at that solution. Creative problem solvers recognize that traditional or previously accepted solutions may not be the be-all end-all and reject the notion that all answers that can be found have been found.
For example, if you suddenly and tragically end up out of jelly for your afternoon PB&J sandwich, a creative solution would NOT be taking a trip to the store to get some. A creative solution would be to use your father's new juicer that he's explicitly forbidden you to touch along with some plump concord grapes and MAKE yourself some delicious and free jelly.
