The interviewer would like to know how you express your creativity, outside of the workplace. A genuinely creative minded person will have outside activities aside from what's happening in the workplace. Tell the interviewer about the variety of ways in which you express your creativity.

Some years ago, due to exercise injuries, I was encouraged to take yoga classes. Over a period of time, I was motivated to be a certified yoga instructor which did help improve my leadership skills in a group setting. It did bring me out of my comfort zone and became more extrovert.
