1. Read the passage given below.
1. Although everybody has a creative spark, the potential is not always
fully utilized. How does one recognize those who are developing their
creative energies to the fullest extent? Mad painters and tormented
poets are only comic stereotypes of the creative personality. The
essential traits of creativity are found among a wide variety of less
conspicuous creators, people in all walks of life. Unfortunately, the
structure of our social and educational environment does not always
promote its growth.
2. Generally speaking, creative people often believe that their purpose in
life is to discover and implement the interrelatedness of things, to make
order out of disorder. They also see problems where others see none
and question the validity of even the most widely accepted answers.
Creative persons are compulsive problem seekers, not so much because
they thrive on problems but because their senses are attuned to a world
that demands to be put together, like a jigsaw puzzle scattered on a
table.
3. Several tests now in use reveal that highly creative people are much
more open and receptive to the complexities of experience than less
creative people. The creative temperament has a tendency to break
problems down into their most basic elements and then reconstruct
them into whole new problems, thereby discovering new relationships
and new solutions.4. Highly creative people aren't afraid to ask what may seem to the naive
as silly questions. They ask questions like "Why don't spiders get tangled
up in their own webs?" and, "Why do dogs turn in circles before lying
down?" Such questions may seem childlike, and in a way they are.
5. Unlike children, creative people appear to have vast stores of patience
to draw upon. Months, years, even decades can be devoted to a single
problem. The home that encourages inquisitiveness contributes to
creative development. The teacher who stresses questions rather than
answers and rewards curiosity rather than restricting it, is teaching a
child to be creative.
6. To be extremely intelligent is not the same as to be gifted in creative
work. The Quiz Kids are often referred to as geniuses. They would
undoubtedly score high in memory functions. But it is doubtful whether
they are also fluent in producing ideas. Contrary to popular myths that
glorify youth, more creative achievements are likely to occur when
people grow older. While memory may falter with age, creativity is
ageless.
