The Creative Person
The Creative Person
A creative person pays attention to vague insights that most people cast aside on grounds of good sense and has "ego" strength that helps him rally from difficulties. He is also strongly motivated to find new ways and is willing to rebel against conformity. The creative genius may be once naive and knowledgeable, being at home equally to primitive symbolism and to rigorous logic. He is both more primitive and more cultured, more destructive and more constructive, occasionally crazier and yet adamantly saner than the average person. - Frank X. Barron - 1963 Excerpt from - "Creativity and Psychological Health"
