1. A great deal of physical energy alternating with a great need for quiet and rest. 2. Highly sexual, yet often celibate, especially when working. 3. Both extravagant and spartan. 4. Smart and naïve at the same time. A mix of wisdom and childishness. Emotional immaturity along with the deepest insights. 5. Convergent (rational, left brain, sound judgment) and divergent (intuitive, right brain, visionary) thinking. Divergence is the ability to generate a great quantity of ideas, to switch from one perspective to another, and to pick unusual associations of ideas. Convergence involves evaluation and choice. Creative people have the capacity to think both ways. 6. Both extroverted and introverted, needing people and solitude equally. 7. Humble and proud, both painfully self-doubting and wildly self-confident. 8. 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. 9. Can be rebellious and independent on one hand, and traditional and conservative on the other. 10. A natural openness and sensitivity that often exposes them to extreme suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment. Despair alternates with bliss, despair when they aren’t working, and bliss when they are. The most important quality among creative people, says Csikszentmilhalyi, is the ability to enjoy the process of creation for its own sake.
