Human creative skills
Neglect of stereotypes and rules
What is creative? First of all, the creative is free-thinking. Such a person will be in his heart a rebel or a revolutionary. Not necessarily he will be riding a tank agitate against the government. No, revolutions are less bloody. For example, in a certain area of knowledge, the direction of creativity, etc. A creative person will always go against the system, dogma, routines. If the interlocutor is loyal to the bureaucracy or the multivolume rules, then, most likely, he is not fully capable of creativity.
Ability to dream
An important feature of all creative personalities is the ability to invent their own worlds that are closed to others. This does not mean that their fantasies are divorced from reality. Simply, because of the ability to abstract, they can find unexpected solutions, or draw inspiration, as if recharging their creative potential. In this creative person is very similar to the child. The ability to fantasize is the element of childhood, which is useful to keep in adult years.
Observation
Non-standard ideas often visit observant people who tend to pay attention to detail. Thanks to this feature, creative individuals are able to pay attention to any trifle that eventually becomes the key to solving a task. But their attentiveness is selective. This means that they sometimes do not notice the obvious things, while focusing on what everyone else does not see.
Failure of routine
A creative person, due to his creative nature, very poorly tolerates routine and dullness. Therefore, routine is the main enemy of non-standard ideas. If we are talking about a creative person, then such a person will not leave "head over heels" in the implementation of monotonous and monotonous tasks. Rather, he will take time off, quit, or ask someone else for help.
Ability to see opportunities in unexpected directions
This skill can be considered a derivative of observation and the ability to fantasize. A creative person in any situation can act outside the box. Where others face an insurmountable obstacle, the creative person will definitely figure out how to overcome it. Therefore, the presence of such an employee in a team almost always guarantees an abundance of original ideas and solutions.
Injury before criticism
Each medal has its own downside. So creativity also has its drawbacks. For example, excessive vulnerability of creative people. Few of them are able to calmly endure the criticism of their ideas or creations. A creative person can be offended even by constructive comments. This feature must be considered when dealing with such people, because one careless word can cause a real flurry of emotions, temporarily block the flow of creative ideas.
Search for new emotions and impressions
Creative people are looking for new emotions. This is one of the main reasons why they are so intolerant to the ordinary. After all, the routine does not give them the opportunity to be inspired to create another masterpiece. Therefore, if a person is creative, then he is most likely inclined to travel, an original hobby. Also, creative personalities are characterized by increased curiosity. They want to know everything and try. They are also prone to various types of addiction, such as alcohol or gambling. Of course, not every creative person has a bad habit, but in any case, he has a source of inspiration.
It can be concluded that a creative person is a reformer in the best sense of a given word. Always goes against standards and regulations. In this connection, he generates creative ideas from time to time. The universal formula of creativity does not exist. Everyone takes inspiration in their own way. The result is important - a completely new solution that allows you to perform a specific task in an unusual way.
