The Complexity of the Creative Personality
Here are a few qualities…
- A great deal of physical energy alternating with a great need for quiet and rest.
- Highly sexual, yet often celibate, especially when working.
- Smart and naïve at the same time. A mix of wisdom and childishness. Emotional immaturity along with the deepest insights.
- Convergent (rational, left brain, sound judgment) and divergent (intuitive, right brain, visionary) thinking…
- Both extroverted and introverted, needing people and solitude equally.
- Humble and proud, both painfully self-doubting and wildly self-confident.
- May defy gender stereotypes, and are likely to have not only the strengths of their own gender but those of the other as well. A kind of psychic androgyny.
