This is an interesting question. On one hand, I have heard people say that I am very creative, but on the other hand, I don't feel particularly creative myself.
I think that what makes people say I'm creative, is that I'm a contrarian. If I see restraints, I like to "technically" hold myself to them, but do so in a different ways than most others. I actually really like constraints, since they tend to make me "more" creative. If I have a blank canvas (figuratively speaking) I have no idea what to do. I also never copied others since it felt like cheating to me, even if most everyone else was doing it. I actually received a full grant for a "young writers" creative writing camp in Sweden when I was in high school, but though the 10 days were really fun, not much stuck with me and I didn't keep on writing.
You see, the issues is that I have almost no artistic impulse. I consider myself as having above average writing skills thanks to my mother who has a degree in Latin and used to comb over essays and school projects with me, but when I'm by myself, I don't really have the impulse to create. Even in kindergarten, I didn't draw like the other kids and I never doodled in notebooks during class nor did I like arts and crafts. I have written a few poems, but for the most part, they were either for a specific reason (like a show of skill) or done out of a sense of obligation, like I "should" be writing poems because it's something I'm good at and it makes me seem more interesting. I haven't written any for years now as I understand that it isn't really an enjoyable activity for me which I'm getting much out of. I enjoyed writing essays in school, but that was also for a specific purpose, and not something I would do by my own volition.
Ultimately, I would say that I'm more of a consumer of art than a creator. I don't have that "spark" of creativity which propels me to create, but I enjoy consuming and analyzing art in most of its forms. I think I would enjoy being a critic, except that again, I'm not motivated enough to write reviews without wages or an audience. I might just be very, very lazy...
