This study aligns perfectly with the theme of the special issue of Creativity and Creativity Awareness: New Directions, as it explores the intricate relationship between discretion and creativity. This research offers significant contributions to the understanding of creativity awareness by examining how discretion plays a pivotal role in the creative process. This study introduces a novel methodology designed to measure the impact of discretion on creativity. Here, discretion is defined as a specific form of awareness, characterized by an individual's deliberate and intentional engagement in creative activities. This approach not only highlights the importance of discretion in fostering creativity but also opens up new avenues for further exploration in this field. The findings provide valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners interested in the dynamics of creativity and its enhancement through discretion.
