12 Characteristics of Creative People

This is a list of 12 tendencies shared by creative individuals posted online by Kim Phillips in March 2012. I  have reprinted the list here with her permission. Please follow this link to her original post    http://getlucid.net/?s=creative+people

Creative people are different because they operate a little differently. They....

  1. Are easily bored
  2. Are willing to take risks
  3. Don't like rules
  4. Ask "what if"
  5. Make lots of mistakes
  6. Collaborate
  7. Are generous
  8. Are independent
  9. Experiment
  10. Motivate themselves
  11. Work hard
  12. Aren't alone
Do you see yourself in this list? I can relate to every one, but the big ones are #1, 3, and 8.  Send me a comment and let me know which ones resonate most strongly for you.

    Hi Mary - Thanks for so much to think about. I think the question for me is: which one doesn't resonate with me?? But I'll go with 1, 10 and 11. It's so nice to know that I'm (#12) - not alone! Take care, Byrd
