I don't think things are so cut and dried as that. There are degrees of creativity, and types of creativity. And like most attributes, a lack of natural capability in a particular area can sometimes be made up for by adapting skills in another, and - more particularly - by hard work and learning the "trade".

Maybe, just maybe, hard work cannot totally replace having at least some creativity - though I've seen people do some impressive things through sheer determination over the years - but I'm more inclined to think that there is a natural culling here, a lack of creativity means a lack of desire to create. Or phrased the other way, creativity drives the desire to create.
