Our world conditions us to think of creativity as an attribute that resides within the individual. We talk about a person being, for example, "creative" or "not very creative." We hold a similar view of intelligence.

Csikszentmihalyi was, with his Systems Model of Creativity, the first to propose that we are not necessarily viewing creativity accurately. Rather than seeing it as an intraindividual attribute, he argues that it is more meaningfully understood from a systems perspective.
In Chapter Two from his book Creativity, Csikszentmihalyi, inspired by General Systems Theory, which has had an important impact upon multiple disciplines, addresses the question "where?" (not "what?") is creativity?
