Are You Creative?

The author, Thomas W Dombroski in his book titled 'Illustrated Creative Problem Solving - The Door to progress and Change', states that creative people have certain traits in common. Some of these common characteristics of creative people include the following:

- don't give up easily and persistent in their efforts.
- works with goals and operate as doers
- Has insight over issues
- have driving force
- Don't worry about what other people think

A quick personal reflection is all you need to find out if you are creative. If you can identify with the above qualities or traits then you are creative. After all, all of us are creative.

A Creative person doesn't care what other people think. Creative person knows that once you are afraid of how others will see you, you will loose the ability to think creative. Normally people who are concerned about 'looking silly' tend to have certain fixed ideas and operate on assumptions. How about you?
