imaginativeness
Inventive mental capacity
Imaginativeness is the quality of having or showing creative vision and originality.
Someone with imaginativeness generates novel ideas, sees possibilities others miss, or approaches problems in unexpected ways: The architect's imaginativeness transformed a bland warehouse into stunning living spaces.
The word emphasizes the capacity itself rather than any single creative act.
