the humanities

[Winnie1122]

The survey question: Why have you chosen to major in the humanities?
One of the response options is “Love for creativity”— listed as the most popular choice.
What exactly does that mean?
Would YOU pick this option if you were choosing this major? Or does it feel a bit... vague or even misleading?
Just trying to understand how native speakers see this. Thanks!

No, it doesn't make sense to me, either. It doesn't even sound properly worded—I think it's meant to mean 'a love of creativity' in the sense that studying humanities allows you to exercise your creativity in a way that the hard sciences, for example, don't.
