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 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 be naive or 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 agele
