Page 33 - Vocabulary Creatively

Another thing that must be pointed out is that no
attempt will be made in this article to divide or classify these

attributes into the customary cognitive, affective, and

conative groupings. The reason for this is that the attributes
of creativity are not self-contained units, but overlap and

merge into one another, partaking of the affective, the
cognitive, and the conative. It would be idle and meaningless

to attempt to draw sharp lines between them. (Raudsepp,
1983).

Truly creative people tend to have the following

characteristics, according to Raudsepp (1978):
1) They are self-confident, often to the point of arrogance

(as opposed to many people who get in the media
seeking love and approval to bolster a low self-image).

2) They are enthusiastic.
3) They are optimistic.

4) They can examine things impartially and objectively.

5) They are constructively discontented.
6) They are dynamic.

7) They have diverse interests.

8) They are honest with themselves.
9) They are not self-satisfied and complacent.
