Complexities

Apparently there are many complexities in the creative personality. I was just stumbling and I found this information about their multiple characteristics.

Here are a few qualities, summarized:

• A great deal of physical energy alternating with a great need for quiet and rest.

• Highly sexual, yet often celibate, especially when working.
• Smart and naïve at the same time. A mix of wisdom and childishness. Emotional immaturity along with the deepest insights.
• Convergent (rational, left brain, sound judgment) and divergent (intuitive, right brain, visionary) thinking…
• Both extroverted and introverted, needing people and solitude equally.
• Humble and proud, both painfully self-doubting and wildly self-confident.
• 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.

I can think of many art students that exhibit one or more of these qualities..... me too.
