Creativity is a broadly varied term to use, it means different things to different people. Some people’s creative spirit is undermined by others, yet others will notice how creative they were also. Being hard to define, how do you measure creativity?

Curiosity – The desire to change or improve things that others look over
Boldness – The confidence to push boundaries beyond the social norms, and ignoring the fear of judgement from others
Paradox – The ability to simultaneously accept and work with statements that are contradictory
