That's because I don't think you can teach creative thinking. People either have the ability or they don't.

I disagree, creative thinking is something that can be taught, or shown. It's actually something we're born with, but forget how to do.
Watch a very young child, they're full of creativity. My nephew is 3 years old, cardboard box can be anything for him, a car, a plane a spaceship. As he gets older though, it's something that he'll grow out of.
Some people don't lose touch of their creativity, in fact they let it grow and develop, it's down to how they're brought up and what they're encouraged to do, the sort of household they grow up in.
Everyone has the potential to be creative, they just don't know it.
