In my experience, many of the people I know who say that they are not creative were embarrassed by someone at some point--often when they were young--for deigning to step out of their box. So when they look at 'creativity' which is complex, mysterious and uncertain they shut down. They see something hard and likely to get their heart smashed. Sometimes a little nurturing and some small steps is all it takes to bring creativity back for people.
