A spellingbee word that Yahoo search did not fi;nd in any dictionary, but is evidently a fairly
recent coinage, as I found it in a number of sites;
" I even have chronic "ideaphoria"—a constant flow of new ideas and
ways ... "
Seems a useful coinage. Please comment.

it's in W3 (1986), but is undated: capacity for creative thought or imagination

I'd never heard the word before, but I like what it describes.

how many of us have it?

I'd never heard the word before, but I like the way it describes what it describes. But without followthrough, that is subsequent execution, the state is merely frustrating for all those around the ideaphoriac(?).

Thank you! A very nice compliment.

But actually my tastes are catholic - or should that be eclectic?

That's exactly the way the word hit me, Jackie. (idea & euphoria) And it gave me a sense the stream of ideas would be of an exciting, positive nature (no negative ideas need apply).
