Solving a puzzle vs creating a puzzle

Do you think a person who can solve a puzzle is more intelligent than a person who can create a puzzle? Or vice versa. Some times I find that I am able to create some puzzles which I my self cannot solve. While some of my friends could solve it easily. But none of them are able to create a new puzzle. So what do you think is a better ability. Ability to create something or ability to solve something?

Hi Phadagour. I personally think it is often easier to solve a puzzle than to create one, at least for me! But both take intelligence, no doubt about that. Karen

Well I can solve puzzles (with dificulty) but I really cannot create them. I had to make a crossword puzzle for school once and it was very hard! So the point of view I see it from is that someone who can create a puzzle is more intelligent than someone who can solve them. But in reality I think that those are 2 different types of intellegence.
