Creativity is an interesting concept to study. Psychologists suggest that if you're an entrepreneur, you're probably creative. This is interesting, as is the fact that many of these traits are oftentimes confused for something they're not. With this in mind, here are 5 signs that show you're creative.
You Are Energetic Yet Restful
According to “The Handbook of Creativity” by Robert J. Sternberg PhD, you have a lot of physical energy but you're also quiet and restful a lot. So, while you may work long hours, where you concentrate a lot, you're still energized by thinking about intrinsic reasons why you want to do this. In doing so you may even feel a sudden burst of renewed energy although you're tired before.
You Alternate Between Fantasy and Reality
In order to create great things, you must alternate between fantasy and reality. Some people may tell you that you daydream too much. However, according to neuroscientists such as Jerome L. Singer (author of “Daydreaming: An Introduction to the Experimental Study of Inner Expeerience”) daydreaming involves the same brain processes that are also associated with both imagination and creativity.
You Are Overly Sensitive
A lot of creative people are overly sensitive, which is quite painful sometimes, but it can also be very enjoyable. There was a study conducted by Angelika Gusewell and Willibald Ruch and published in the journal, “Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts” in February, 2014 stating that musicians are much more responsive to artistic beauty than other people.
You Defy Rigid Gender Role Stereotyping
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of “Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery and Invention,” wrote that creative people oftentimes defy gender stereotypes. Herein he states that creative girls are more dominant and tough, while creative boys are more sensitive and less aggressive. It's important to understand that this is not the same as homosexuality.
You're Very Passionate, Yet Very Objective About Your Work
This is important because without passion you'd lose interest when faced with a difficult task. However, since you're objective about it, your work is really good and it's actually credible too. According to M. A. Collins and T. M. Amabile share more about this in their book entitled, “The Handbook of Creativity.”
