It is important to note right at the outset that creative personalities vary greatly between domains and disciplines. A further key concept readers will quickly arrive at, is that there not one single identifying personality traitPersonality traits for creative genii. Also, no personality traitsPersonality traits should be regarded as predictive of performance (either at work or at playPlay), without considering the wider context or the specific situation (i.e., the other Ps in six Ps of creative intelligence).
