Creative people are a$$holes

[Sonrisa]

The researchers looked at how six different personality traits influenced creativity. They found an openness to experience is the personality characteristic with the largest influence on creativity, a result seen in previous studies. Extroversion had a smaller effect, while emotionality and conscientiousness made no difference.

Agreeableness, which indicates that people can compromise, sympathize and get along well with others, also had no effect. But honesty-humility was shown to have a negative influence on creativity.

While the creative personality has many appealing traits -- being curious, broad-minded, and open to new experiences -- it has a few unappealing ones, like less modesty and more arrogance.

Creative pursuits often require teachers and mentors to nurture your talents and connect you to people who can get your work out to the public.

So the truly arrogant will have a harder time cultivating the relationships and networks needed to get 'plugged in' to a creative community.

Link to this or are we just taking your word for it?

[Sonrisa]

are you saying that it's not a fact no matter who states it?

[KingZ]

I'm saying that no matter how likely something seems, I don't believe it unless there's proof.

[Sonrisa]

you are the proof

[KingZ]

I'm not a creative person.

[Sonrisa]

I'm not a creative person.

creative = talented = annoying

I am a proof that it's not true. I am talented = creative = smart = and yet lovable as ****. People love me (at least in RL) and I'm an asshole just to those I really love Of course I can be also super nice and lovable to them as well

No for real, I'm an asshole but just to other assholes AND stupid people. I hate stupid (=annoying) people :/

you just proved the point and managed to confuse the $hit out of me

[Petit Papillon]

MY point is , you can be creative and talented and still be a nice person, but there is no need to be nice to idiots and assholes .

how do we distinguish between idiots and assholes?

[Petit Papillon]

I'll give you two examples :

Idiot - for example Zuros
Asshole - for example Neo
