In a way, creativity is part of what makes someone a nerd or a geek.
Unfortunately even that requirement gets a bit blurry around the edges. Take fantasy football (American and proper), where people who haven't seen dice outside of a Monopoly set or a craps table, are engaged in an activity more in common with a RPG than anything else.
Premier Manager, a compuer game version of the above, consistently sells well year in and out.

As others have said, being a nerd or a geek is more a self label and identifying with the culture than anything else - about the only commonality you can say all nerds or geeks have, is an interest in technically or intellectually demanding subjects or hobbies and even that isn't true in some cases.
