Berikut ini adalah 10 sikap paradok yang dinyatakan oleh Mihaly:
1. Creative people have a great deal of physical energy, but they’re also often quiet and at rest.
I think creative people need and use a lot of energy to “imagine”, they create something unique and different in their mind. That’s why they’re often quiet and have a great deal on physical energy.
2. Creative people tend to be smart yet naive at the same time.
I think this is true, creative people always think ‘out of the box’ they use unusual way in facing a problem, and always curious about anything, that’s why some people say they’re ‘genius’!
3. Creative people combine playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.
Absolutely agree! i think being discipline doesn’t mean that you have to always be ‘serious’. Sometime you need something new and fun to refresh your brain, so that it can increase your creativity.
4. Creative people alternate between imagination and fantasy, and a rooted sense of reality.
Creative people have a high imagination and fantasy while other people doesn’t. And i think that is the key of creativity.
5. Creative people trend to be both extroverted and introverted.
Hmmmm, actually i don’t really understand what is the relation between both the extroverted and introverted to the context of creative people.. But sometimes, i just think that many people that i think introvert are creative, i don’t know why..
6. Creative people are humble and proud at the same time.
I think being humble reflect that they are proud of them self as creative people.
7. Creative people, to an extent, escape rigid gender role stereotyping.
Creative people doesn’t always follow the rules, they will find different way in doing something.
8. Creative people are both rebellious and conservative.
Creative people mostly an adventurous and full of curiosity, they can’t be bounded by the rules.
9. Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.
Extremely agree with this statement. They do what they like, and they feel every works they made. They won’t satisfy about something which their heart tell it didn’t.
10. Creative people’s openness and sensitivity often exposes them to suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment.
For some people, they can be a creative person when they feel pain and suffer. These condition stimulates their brain to express their feeling into creativity. And because of that, at the same time, they are also have a great deal of enjoyment.
