What type of creative person are you?
19.03.2020

“All creative.”

Most creative animators share this belief.

To be more specific, I would say:
All creative, but not in the same way.

This collaborative article will prove it to us. Thanks to 258 persons who participated in it.

We all wear a different look on the same situation.
Everyone has their own way of perceiving a problem and considering its solutions.

Our head, our emotions and our guts offer us personal reading keys.
And that's good.

A few questions about your preferences

I asked you simple questions that were meant to reveal your natural preferences.

For example, the Rorschach test resulted in some astonishing answers:

  • A bat
  • A screaming cat
  • Two dogs fighting over a piece of meat
  • The front of a scooter
  • Two Kissing Fennecs
  • And even... an ex-husband

Proof that we never see exactly the same thing.

Ned Herrmann's brain preference model

The researcher Ned Herrmann worked on different brain preferences.

Its model makes it possible to identify our dominant ways of thinking.

Right brain/left brain test

  • The right brain is intuitive and global
  • The left brain is analytical and logical

Cortical/limbic test

  • The cortical brain is thoughtful and conceptual
  • The limbic brain is emotional and affective

Among the 66 participants who completed the test, half had a profile right cortical.

A profile often associated with creativity, entrepreneurship or artistic expression.

This raises an interesting question:
How do we recruit complementary profiles to enrich our teams?

What is this type of test for?

As a personal

It allows you to better know your How to use and to share it with others.

At the level of a team

It helps to check if the group is balanced or if he risks each other.

Diversity is great news for creative animators.

Research shows that differences improve the quality of collective work:

  • Gender diversity
  • Generational diversity
  • Crossing experiences

A more fundamental question

What is the point in putting people in boxes?

And if we really wanted to do it, could we just do it?

The question is worth asking.

Basically, no need for testing to cultivate a certain taste for...
creativity.
