10 Habits of Creative Geniuses
We are all born with the ability to be creative. Unlike the common myth however, creativity is not in our DNA, nor is it a talent that few are born or gifted with. According to a study by Dr. George Land and Dr. Beth Jarman, mostly everyone, that is 98% of people to be exact, are born creative geniuses. While people continually hope and pray of becoming the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, this study helps to prove that the capacity to function and live life as a creative genius lies within mostly everyone.
However, just because 98% of people have the capacity to be a creative genius, does not mean that all these people are functioning at such a high creative level. The fact of the matter is that creative geniuses, like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, are still rare because so few individuals are actually equipped with the creative skillsets to venture into and succeed in such over-competitive markets.
Creativity is becoming such an essential skill that out of the 1,500 CEOs polled by IBM, 60% cited creativity, over integrity and global thinking, as the most important leadership quality. As necessary of a skill as creativity is becoming, being and living as a creative genius is still available to a majority of the population.
