Investment Theory of Creativity (Robert Sternberg, Todd Lubart, 1990s) – based on the metaphor that creativity is like investment, the suggestion that the most creative people are independent, forward-looking thinkers who are able to “buy low” and “sell high” – that is, risking a commitment to unproven ideas before their power is evident and then reaping the dividends when they become popular, before moving to the next not-yet-popular idea.
