  • dialectical tension
  • 1. Creative people have a great deal of physical energy, but they're also often quiet and at rest.

      Pensamiento convergente vs divergente. El primero, se mide por los tests de 'coeficiente intelectual' (resolución de problemas racionales, bien definidos y con una solución correcta). Al parecer, la creatividad pudiera requerir un cierto coeficiente intelectual (120), pero por encima del mismo, no necesariamente se es mas creativo. El pensamiento divergente conduce a soluciones resultado de 'acuerdos' (implica fluidez o capacidad para generar gran cantidad de ideas; flexibilidad o capacidad para conmutar de una perspectiva a otra; y originalidad a la hora de proponer asociaciones de ideas). Concluye que, en cualquier caso, el pensamiento divergente requiere, para que sea creativo, del pensamiento convergente, también.

  • n IQ beyond 120 does not necessarily imply higher creativity
  • to use well two opposite ways of thinking: the convergent and the divergent.
  • Convergent thinking is measured by IQ tests
  • Divergent thinking leads to no agreed-upon solution
  • People often claimed to have had only two or three good ideas in their entire career, but each idea was so generative that it kept them busy for a lifetime of testing, filling out, elaborating, and applying.
  • Divergent thinking
  • involves convergent thinking
  • 3. Creative people combine playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.

  • At the same time, they know that in comparison with others, they have accomplished a great deal. And this knowledge provides a sense of security, even pride.
  • in Newton's words, "on the shoulders of giants."
  • 7. Creative people, to an extent, escape rigid gender role stereotyping.
  • androgyny is sometimes understood in purely sexual terms, and therefore it gets confused with homosexuality
  • But psychological androgyny is a much wider concept referring to a person's ability to be at the same time aggressive and nurturant, sensitive and rigid, dominant and submissive, regardless of gender.
  • 8. Creative people are both rebellious and conservative.
  • It is impossible to be creative without having first internalized an area of culture
  • 9. Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.

  • A negative impulse is always frustrating
  • Without the passion, we soon lose interest in a difficult task
