Psychopathy (or traits in subclinical form) is linked to creativity.

I haven't seen it, but I imagine it is largely based on Eysenck's psychoticism theory, according to which the personality factor psychoticism is related with “creativity” and plays a similar role in both antisocial people and creative people

Extremely difficult question, but I would say that it’s the expression of the awareness as perceived by an outside observer. 
However, this definition would make it very related (when “high”) to intelligence, because a noteworthy expression requires noteworthy intelligence

This also implies that creativity can’t be something that individuals are unaware of producing, ergo, it’s over for most “artists”
