1. Receptivity - Be open to new ideas; welcome new experiences.
- True. I believe to be creative you have to be open to all new ideas, you have to have some sort of third eye and second opinion to everything to genuinely be open to any other ideas or thoughts.
2. Attentiveness - Every experience is potentially valuable.
- Of course every experience is valuable. Bad expeirences are lessons learned, and good experiences are new inspirations as to what you can do next. Ask yourself, what can make it better next time?
3. Conviction - Tenaciously pursue an independent path.
- Not entirely true. I don't think someone has to strictly follow their own path. Some can see a path they enjoy and make it their own, or recreate it in their own way. It doesn't have to be completely be original.
4. Curiosity - Research unusual topics; analyze unfamiliar systems.
- True! Curiosity is what creates new ideas and new works of art. Curiosity normally leads to inspiration.
5. Wide Range of Interests - With more components, the number of combinations increase.
- This is true. For example, if someone is only interested in cats, their pictures will be boring. Just cats. However, if someone is interested in cats, zombies, space and aliens, they have a whole wide variety of what they can do. Now they can take a picture of a zombie eating a cat floating in space with aliens surrounding. Makes the picture way more entertaining.
6. Seeking Connections - See the similarity between disparate parts.
- Somewhat true. Finding connections in odd things can definitley make the picture more creative and interesting. However, I don't think every picture has to have some sort of connection.
7. Complexity - Combine the irrational with the intuitive.
- True. I really like this explanation. I think if one can connect their intuition with the irrational then they definitley are thinking creatively.
