The Creator shape
A typical Creator’s position on the five dimensions. Real people vary; this is the centre of the type.
You are pulled toward the new and the unresolved, and you enjoy ideas even before they are useful.
You keep options open, adapt as things change and find rigid plans more limiting than helpful.
You can enjoy a crowd and also need time alone, depending on the day and the people.
You find meaning in helping a shared effort succeed and prefer contributing to directing.
You weigh decisions by their effect on people and values, and you read emotional cues quickly.
