seven characteristics of creative thinking

seven characteristics of creative thinking:
1. Receptivity-be open to new ideas; welcome new experiences
2. Attentiveness-every experience is potentially valuable
3. Conviction-tenaciously pursue an independent path
4. Curiosity-researhc unusual topics; analyze unfamiliar systems
5. Wide Range of Interests-with more components, the number of combinations increase
6. Seeking Connections-see the similarity between disparate parts
7. Complexity-combine the irrational with the intuitive

I feel that these characteristics of creativity are different for each person. People are inspired by different things. Some people could be more creative when working in a group; while, some people could be more creative when working alone. It's different for each person.
