Quiz Outcomes

1.
You Have CONCENTRATED Creativity
Image Source
Your Creativity Quotient is 32% Your creative problem-solving skills are highly concentrated, and show up in one or two very defined areas. While you are not what I classify as a Highly Creative Person (an "HCP"), who tend to have an excess of talents, skills and interests, you definitely have one or two zones of creative genius. (Remember this: Creative does NOT mean the same as artistic. You can be creative without being at all artsy.) Whether your Zones of Creative Genius show up through your profession or a hobby, you exhibit both exceptional ability and a true passion for the work. Others may even be intimidated by your clarity, focus and drive. You are strong and decisive. You don't like to mess around or waste time. You are results-oriented, and you like to be good at what you do. (Even a bit of a perfectionist, hm?) Your creativity flourishes when you can focus on one thing at a time. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed or distracted, and you can accomplish great things. You get frustrated when you're not moving ahead at the speed you'd like. One idea is to be with people who can encourage you to stretch. To take risks. To invite more creative action into your life. I’m one of those people. :-) And there are more I'd love you to meet! Plus, if you work with, live with, love or are trying to parent an HCP, you know that they are brilliant AND they can be *really* frustrating. So find out more about the complicated inner life of the HCP (and what motivates them!) by joining our Facebook Group. I created a free Facebook group called The Secrets of Highly Creative People. The Secrets of Highly Creative People explores and celebrates the extremely weird behavior of that delightful 10-15% of the population who are Highly Creative People. And even as a Concentrated Creative, this group will give you access to engaging conversation, resources, tools, livestreams with me and much more that can help you in focusing on and enjoying greater success in your zones of creative genius. It costs nothing to join, you'll get a big shot of camaraderie... and might discover you're way, way, way weirder and more creative than you thought! Click HERE for more. I look forward to staying connected! - Sam

Are You Hiding Your Real Creativity?
Image Source
Your Creativity Quotient is 66.25% You are a warm and caring person, and others usually feel very comfortable around you. (But I have to ask: are you really a multi-talented oddball in hiding?) You hate to rock the boat, and you tend to put others' needs ahead of your own.You are probably quite a bit more creative than you are letting on. Remember - creative does NOT mean the same as artistic. Lots of Highly Creative People are not at all artsy or crafty. Some exist as insanely effective problem solvers, tinkerers and fixers of all the things, and insatiable inquiring minds. So give yourself some room to experiment, and I bet you'll find that unleashing your creativity also unleashes more joy, passion and fun. Here's something wonderful about you: Your creativity flourishes when you feel safe and approved of. Too much stress or harsh judgment will shut you down completely. So please be sure - especially when you are trying something new - that you have a supportive environment. Use your creativity to allow your true self to be expressed, seen and appreciated. Your Success Tip: Stretch Yourself. Connect with people in a safe environment who will be wonderfully supportive of your creative growth. I’m one of those people. :-) And there are more I'd love you to meet! I created a free Facebook group called The Secrets of Highly Creative People. The Secrets of Highly Creative People explores and celebrates the extremely weird behavior of that delightful 10-15% of the population who are Highly Creative People. And as your score suggests, you just might be one… or you might work or live with one....and having you in this group will give you access to engaging conversation, resources, tools, livestreams with me and much more. It costs nothing to join, you'll get a big shot of camaraderie... and might discover you're way, way, way weirder and creative than you thought! Click HERE to join.

You are a Highly Creative Person!

Your Creativity Quotient is 100%! Baby, you're a firework. You are part of the 10-15% of the population who qualifies as a Highly Creative Person. You have so many ideas, talents and skills that you find it almost impossible to settle on one thing. Good news: you don't have to. Highly Creative People thrive when they feel they have the freedom to throw themselves into things without feeling trapped, or like it will be forever. Please don't ever feel like you have to fit into a box, or be defined by others - you are a natural-born contrarian, and you contain multitudes. And while others may say that they think you're weird, they are secretly amazed, mystified and deeply impressed by you and your big, sexy brain. Your creativity flourishes when you stop expecting yourself to be perfect at everything the first time, and you give yourself room to experiment. Try taking one of your big ideas and breaking it into 15-minute activities. Little steps can take you a long way, plus it will get you out of your procrastination, perfectionism and self-doubt. Your Success Tip: Be with people who get you. I’m one of those people. :-) And there are more I'd love you to meet! I created a free Facebook group called The Secrets of Highly Creative People. The Secrets of Highly Creative People explores and celebrates the extremely weird behavior of that delightful 10-15% of the population who are Highly Creative People.
