>High amount of intelligence has a negative corelation with creativity.
This has not been proven and I don't think this is the case. Here is a great post that highlights the faulty methodology of most studies that came to this conclusion.

Also, I think that creativity usually comes from two ideas that no one really considered could be combined together, but someone did, and pursued it. The people who are best able to capitalize on that are those who are experts in more than multiple fields, like polymaths, and can use the knowledge from one field and pollinate in another field of expertise. I.e. polymaths, who I would expect to be some of the most intelligent people out there.
Creativity and creative intelligence is unable to hook into established definitions and so such things can't be labelled. Often they are labelled as "different" or even "subversive" until small group mindshare makes it mainstream and eventually it is appreciated.
