Creative people do things differently. But what specifically? We mostly agree that creative people are willing to act unconventionally, that they are inquisitive, and that they are intuitive. But aren’t creative artists different from creative business people?
There are differences between domains. Here are some extra characteristics that Sternberg (1985) found to be important in the following domains:
Art: Imagination, Originality, Risk-taking
Business: Coming up with and exploring new ideas
Philosophy: Play and classifying new ideas
Physics: See order amid chaos, Inventiveness, Problem solving
These are really quite different, aren’t they! So what are you great at? How can you develop your unique skills?
