In fairness, you’d need to be a bit of a Creative Genius to guess the answer to this question.<\/p>\n
Creative Researchers carried out a practical experiment in the US in the 1960’s in which they put a group of highly creative people, including author Truman Capote, in a house for a period of time and observed their behaviour.<\/p>\n
The results of the research highlighted one particular trait of creative geniuses and it isn’t your typical ‘high IQ’ result.<\/p>\n
“The common traits that people across all creative fields seemed to have in common were an openness to one’s inner life; a preference for complexity and ambiguity; an unusually high tolerance for disorder and disarray; the ability to extract order from chaos; independence; unconventionality; and a willingness to take risks,” write Gregoire and Kaufman, authors of a new book entitled ‘Wired to Create: Unravelling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind’.<\/p>\n
Put simply, what differentiates the Creative Geniuses from the rest of us is openness to complexity. \u00a0Creative-minded people openly and boldly confront themselves and the world around them, and they appear to find an unusual synthesis between healthy and ‘pathological’ behaviours.<\/p>\n
