Does creative thinking include the ability to understand new ideas/concepts similar to logical thinking?
No. Creative thinking allows you to explore and think the unthinkable. It creates questions that you have not asked to yourself before. But it is your logical thinking that is finding the answers to these questions. To understand things or concepts, you need to have basic knowledge and apply your logical thinking to answer questions raised by your creative thinking. You need to have profound knowledge to serve as a basis to answer advanced questions.
