The World looks different to you?

this heading shows how different can a creative person be, are you creative? well, this post proves that all the creative people see the world differently, let's get moving.

The idea that some people see more possibilities than others is central to the concept of creativity.

Did you know?

*Psychologists often measure creativity using divergent thinking tasks.

*These require you to generate as many uses as possible for mundane objects, such as a brick.

*People who can see numerous and diverse uses for a brick (say, a coffin for a Barbie doll funeral diorama) are rated as more creative than people who can only think of a few common uses (say, for building a wall).

The aspect of our personality that appears to drive our creativity is called openness to experience, or openness.

Among the five major personality traits, it is the openness that best predicts performance on divergent thinking tasks. Openness also predicts real-world creative achievements, as well as engagement in everyday creative pursuits.

Creative vision

* published in the Journal of Research in Personality, they found that open people don’t just bring a different perspective to things, they genuinely see things differently to the average individual.

* They wanted to test whether openness is linked to a phenomenon in visual perception called binocular rivalry. This occurs when two different images are presented to each eye simultaneously, such as a red patch to the right eye and a green patch to the left eye.

* For the observer, the images seem to flip intermittently from one to the other. At one moment only the green patch is perceived and at the next moment only the red patch – each stimulus appearing to rival the other (see illustration below).

Intriguingly, participants in binocular rivalry studies occasionally see a fused or scrambled combination of both images (see middle frame, above). These moments of “rivalry suppression”, when both images become consciously accessible at once, seem almost like a “creative” solution to the problem presented by the two incompatible stimuli.

Seeing things that others don't

* Another well-known perceptual phenomenon is called inattentional blindness. People experience this when they are so focused on one thing that they completely fail to see something else right before their eyes.

* Across three experiments, we found that open people saw the fused or scrambled images for longer periods than the average person.

Furthermore, they reported seeing this for even longer when experiencing a positive mood state similar to those that are known to boost creativity.

participants were asked to watch a short video of people tossing a basketball to one another and to track the total number of passes between the players wearing white.

Opening our minds: Should we?

It might seem as if open people have been dealt a better hand than the rest of us. But can people with uncreative personalities broaden their limited vistas, and would this be a good thing?

we all can have special powers with what you have, you are cool in your own way,

So, from different personalities emerge different experiences, but we should always remember that one person’s view is not necessarily better than another’s.
