Quiz Outcomes

1.
The Action-oriented Organizer Creator
Image Source
You are an organized and action-oriented creator. Once you know what you're doing, you jump to action to carefully and precisely execute it. You make plans, you may even have spreadsheets, and you know the outcome of this creative vision sometimes even before you start on it! The drawback of this kind of creative energy is that you might lack spontaneity and the ability to let yourself get lost in inspiration and unexpected outcomes. Creativity coaching can help you release your control and explore the beauty of the unexpected and organic!
2.
The Organic or Flow Creator

You are an organic and flow creator-- when the spirit moves you, you jump to work immediately on the process. You can feel the power of the creative magic move through you, and you let it move you where it moves you. It may happen at any time or any place. Being creative feels like a spiritual act to you. The drawback to this kind of creative energy is that you may lose sight of the overall original vision, or you might often find yourself lacking the structure you need to professionalize your craft. Creativity coaching can help you find the right balance of organization and flow that will bring you closer to your creative goals.
3.
The Confident Community Creator

You are a confident community creator who thrives off of collaborating with others and melding your creative vision with others. To be an artist or creator to you is to be part of a larger collective and to share in the beauty of the group dynamic. You look to others for inspiration, and they look to you. The drawback to this kind of creation is that you may not be valuing the power of the quiet, personal relationship you have with yourself and with your art or creative passion. You may lose sight of your own voice, talent, and beauty for the sake of blending into a larger community voice or project. Creativity coaching can help you strike the right balance between impactful community influence and projects and staying true to your own authentic voice among the noise.
4.
The Focused Lone-Wolf Creator

You are the focused lone wolf creator who values the quiet of nature and solitude in order to make your best art or creations. You know who you are and you know what your creative voice intends to say. You dislike distractions, and you don't often invite others into your process because it disrupts your focus and authenticity. The drawback to this kind of creation is that you may lack community and support, and your work may feel great in the bubble of your own mind and process, but when you bring it to the larger community (if you ever do), it may be rough and in need of input. You may also occasionally feel lonely in your creative pursuits and like you'd like to be a part of something, but you don't know how to connect. Creativity coaching can help you strike the right balance between staying true to your own authentic voice impactful and being part of a community that can help you grow into the best creative person you can be.
