Although everybody has a creative spark, the potential is not always fully utilized. How has one recognize those
who are developing their creative energies to the fullest extent? Mad painter 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 growth.
Generally speaking, creative people often believe their purpose in life is to discover and implement the
inter-relatedness 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.
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
problem, thereby discovering new relationships and new solutions.
Highly creative people are not afraid to ask what a my seem to be naive or silly questions. they ask questions
like,” Why do not 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.

decades can be devoted to a single problem. The home that encourages inquisitiveness contributes to creative
development. the teacher who stresses questions rather answers and rewards curiosity rather than restricting
it, is teaching a child to be creative.
