YOGYAKARTA Creativity is a source that makes life meaningful. Most interesting, important, and humane things result from creativity. With creative individuals, values, art expressions, scientific understanding, and technology recognized and appreciated. Research was conducted for 30 years, which according to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity: The Work and Lives of 91 Issuers, creative processes are quite mysterious. Because new ideas and new things have been successfully realized because of adaptability so that they are able to achieve goals. Launching Psychology Today, Wednesday, December 13, creative people have the following properties.

Creative people can work for hours with high concentrations, freshness, and full of enthusiasm. This shows the physical and genetic advantages. But surprisingly, a 70-year-old can still radiate energy considering his childhood is sickly. Apparently, internally generated energy is superior in marking one's creativity rather than genetic factors. That is, managing energy effectively as a strategy that can be learned to achieve goals.

How smart intelligent people are, is actually still in question. It may be true that there are genetic factors, which means having very high general intelligence and contributing to creativity. According to research, having a low IQ may be difficult to do creative work. But having an IQ higher than 120, doesn't always have high creativity.

Creative people, in one study, have convergent and divergent thinking. Converging is measured by the IQ test, while divergent involves the ability to generate many great ideas, flexibility, ability to shift from one perspective to another, and originality of the idea.

Characteristics of creative individuals, they like to 'play' and be light in their activities. The joy that creative people have, will not succeed without fortitude, endurance, and perseverance. Despite the cheerful atmosphere experienced by many creative people, most of them work late at night and survive when less excited people don't do it.

superior art and science involve leaps of imagination differently. People also often view new ideas as originating from imagination and irrelevant to reality. It may be true, but creativity in principle bases on reality when it develops imagination and fantasy.

Psychological research observes personality traits. The most stable and distinguishing one person from another is personality, including extroverts and introverts. Creative people, seem to show these two personalities at the same time.

Creative people have a humble but not discouraged nature. They are actually proud of small things but not arrogant or arrogant. They respect the field where they work and are well aware of where they stand, contribute to what, and place their perspective.

When feminine gender is rigidly deposited in a skirt, not for creative people. Streotype rigid gender based on role, regardless of the perspective of creative people. If creative men are less aggressive, creative women are more dominant and resilient. This tendency is sometimes understood in terms of sexual only. But more broadly, creative people do not view this tendency as gender-based. This means that anyone who is creative can be sensitive, less aggressive, tough, and dominant.

Many people call 'instigating' a way of thinking out of the box. For creative people, think uniquely but at the same time can be very conservative because they will explore their fields and be consistently creative.

9. Work objectively

Without passion, we will lose interest in difficult tasks. Likewise for creative people, they have an endless spirit. In addition, creative people are very objective at their work.

These two traits, openness and sensitivity, make creative people often face suffering and pain but also get a lot of fun. For example, a mechanical person will be disturbed when they hear annoying machine sounds. They also have discipline in providing criticism and input.

Those are the ten properties of creative people in adapting to create something new. It is important to understand, creative people also enjoy the process. They don't stop learning to be better and have predictable expectations.
