Once i discovered who i was i started to like myself. This video was very helpful.
Extroverted/Introverted, Masculine/Feminine, Rebellious/Conservative. YES! No wonder I always felt like such a contradiction. I can party w/ the extroverts and out-loner the introverts. LOL. I follow the rules when I need to, and I BREAK them when I need to.
The danger with beimg creative is that if you dont have a purpose or creative outlet, you'll rot away slowly

Very appropriate insight. It can become a killing disease when one is in a workforce environment that encourages long work hours, disruptive employees, etc. Do what you love…and, love what you do.

If you’re a creative person, and you don’t have a purpose, well, create one. I say only half jokingly.
Humble about what we do.... Proud of who we are !!!!
This is me 100% and the first real validation of who I am and the current situation I find myself n. Many dots were joined tonight. Thank you James Taylor.

Most people would agree as well.
Our arts and talents drive us. The opinions of our neighbours do not.

Very accurate description. Great stuff, thank you.
The way I RELATED TO EVERY SINGLE POINT is scary
I've been creative ever since my youngest years. I love the ability to create something from essentially nothing. My problem is that when l decide on a project, l always strive to make it the Best. And after l've spent So Much time on it, l can almost never part with my Especially good projects. My art is a hobby and l have done a number of paintings. It's only because space is limited that l've begun to give them away. I like knowing where they each are! Enjoyed your video. Spot on about Thinking out of the Box; being a Visionary with the ability to see what others have a difficult time seeing or understanding.
great video, very thought provoking. Interesting that Lennon and McCartney both lost their mothers when they were young. Can't help but think that level of pain would make you sensitive to the world and feelings and maybe find music fascinating as a result.
This is spot on, good work
WOW! This is Great! Thank you! This great analisys of a creative personality. It has helped me a lot. I recognize myself!

He takes this from the book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called Creativity. I first heard of this in a Psychology Today article summarizing his book back in 1996.
I currently studying Art & Design at nearly 50 years old! I previously studied psychology in my 30s probably as part of my self-awareness journey, however your video has better answered why I have such binary traits. I especially related to points 5 and 7 and have often wondered why. I find your tutorials very clear, concise and they hit the right level. I'll be watching more of them. Thank you.
ON POINT! I really liked it thank u ❤️

Wow! very true and inspiring, but sometimes the culture around us does not help to provoke or get out these traits of creativity in us that is we have some or a huge part of these elements but we do not have the ambience that fosters provoking these elements. Anyways, we could work on ourselves.. Thank you a lot!
GREAT video 💎

Thanks for the visit
I recently did a personality test with work as part of a management training course. I came out as highly creative. I have always played music and paint however i do heavily suffer from crippling deppression on occassion and take things to heart. One thing that i have to mention is that you did not talk about in depth the negative side to being this way. One thing that haunts me is the feeling that whatever i am doing at the time i have the feeling that i am living a life not well lived. I need to persue my imagination but am limited by work and life commitments to do so. Good video though, i did enjoy it.
I check all boxes.

+Nadiyah M Glad to hear you enjoyed it Nadiyah. Feel free to subscribe to my channel for more videos like this.
Wow so God damn spot on! You made me feel like you knew me better then anyone else including my family and closest friends ♥️♥️♥️ ... I found this video by franticly researching if there was an app or if i had to make one for finding similar friends nearby with same personality since I have trouble with feeling a connection with people cause the seems so different and close minded :( ... Thank you so much ❤️
I would like to see something about road blocks that stand in the way of SELF-TAUGHT creative people doing things at which they excel for a living instead of struggling for the time and money to do them. I'm amazed that I have so many seemingly unmarketable gifts but see people with limited creativity having great success in the market place. This vexes me. Any suggestions?
@James Taylor you should write a book! I also have all of the creative personality characteristics.
This describes me so well!
Interesting.
You are right on the money , cause you put things right on perspectives , correct and very polite that's way ill subscribe , lara 621 find it .
🙏
Is he talking about ISFP. ??
learn a lot, thanks
Nicely done!
Blessing and a curse.. You really have to understand human nature
How could creative people make use of themselves?
James u are brilliant and sexy.... Mostly cuz ur brilliant and thoughtful 😊😊
How did i not see this you have described me to the damn T
All true.
i didn’t understand the first two elements!! another thing i wanna ask is about the rebellious and conservative thing, so can it be about the traditions? i’m asking because i’ve always been rebellious when it comes to traditions and society norms because we Egyptians have some traditions that don’t make any sense, not to mention being oppressing especially towards women, i also never understood that picking noses at people’s lives thing that people think are entitled to, i always support free choices of the way of living as long as it doesn’t hurt other people, yet i’m still conservative about stuff, i have some red lines i don’t like to go beyond although i’m not immune to doing them, and sometimes i think of people opinions of me going beyond them, however i still don’t listen to them most of the time.. i see overt rebellious people are not like that, i mean they do every thing to the extreme like imitating the way western people live their lives and i don’t have any problem with that way of life because again i hold up individuals freedom but the thing is i’m not used to it. and i always thought that there was something wrong with me because i’m sick of alternating all the time. so can it be about traditions as well?
James 9 of the 10 points fit me except the gender stereo it is a really nice video thanks Shirley
100% good!
Nice video, but please say when you quote someone else's work, even if it is not a practise so much of KZread videos. The researchers do deserve to get some credit. Mihaly Csikszentmihaly conducted a very thorough and time intensive qualitative study and his book Creativity is worth checking out :)
