I'm not sure. I think people with low IQs, or people with brain damage/injuries can also be very creative and find therapy and comfort in creative tasks - especially those that are repetitive in motion like crochet and knitting. Maybe they wouldn't be able to come up with their own patterns and ideas, but then who knows - maybe they can?

But I'm sure you'll also find that some of our greatest creative minds had huge IQs - I imagine Da Vinci would have tested through the roof!

No. Creativity is not talent it is to use your imagination to make something in whatever way you want. Unless someone is brain dead they can be creative in their own way.
