Productive creativity - as in artistic or scientific products where there are restrictions and controlled free play.

Innovative creativity - where there is improvement through modification involving conceptualizing skills.
Imaginative creativity - where there is an entirely new principle or assumption around which new products, movements, and the like can flourish.
