What Type of Creative Are You?
As creators, the most beneficial thing we can do for our business is just that — to create! But sometimes we get stuck. If you’re someone who often feels stuck, try using this article to identify your weaknesses, and then use your strengths to… uh… ‘unstick’ yourself? You get what I mean.
You may identify with more than one of these “types.” I know I do. But my hope is that you can apply little tidbits from each to your own process and mindset.
The Ideator
Ideators are always coming up with new ideas. Even when they’ve already got an idea in the works that they should be focusing on.
They’re problem solvers. They pay attention to what’s going on around them and ideas come to them. They’re hyper aware of their environments and how any interaction or task could be improved. They don’t just take things for what they are, but always question how and why things are done a certain way.
Not only are they keen and observant, but they’re passionate. Their minds are always churning up new concepts and ways to add value and ease to people’s lives and the world because they truly care. In general, they’re receptive to new ideas. Many people are quick to reject an idea, especially if it’s a little “out there,” but ideators are receptive to these because of their optimistic nature.
