Yes I am not forgetting any blend even the totally extroverted individual have their role to play in creativity I mean the San/chlor and the chlor/san imagine how dry the world would have been if there was no sanguine to market goods to motivate phlegmatic, or how the whole world would have been if there was no choleric to face fear fearlessly and to take the mantle of leadership willingly, the other way round there would be no teachers to teach student from infants and primary sch if there was no phlegmatic the easy going nature of a phlegmatic makes him able to do this, a sanguine teacher will spend the whole day telling stories, a choleric teacher will dominate the children with fear and they almost run thru the window and the melancholy will criticize their inability to learn fast but the phlegmatic is most patient of all this is who they are, evenly composed. Now the world would have gone back to where it came from if there were no melancholy because the base of creativity lies with them, they are detailed loving, analytical, they do most things in their head they are extremely sensitive to feeling plus they are productive so all these makes the melancholy no doubt most creative. but all blends are totally creative just that they across different profession/fields so chlor mel are not left out and all blends of mel....
Yea you are right.If you are also familiar with the kiersly temperament or myers briddes type indicator(MBTI)A pure melanchony is a ISTJ(Introverted,sensing,thinking,jundging)I advise anyone who is familiar with tim lahaye to be familiar with this to.

YES YES YES and YES

rodeo0070: The world would be a dreadful place without creative people. Could you even imagine life without art? The thought alone makes me tremble. Could you be the next William Shakespeare, Steven Spielberg, or J.K. Rowling? Find out with these 20 signs you’re a creative person.

1. You have an authority problem.


Creative types don’t always get along well with management because they would rather march to the beat of their own drum.

2. You have a hard time relating with people.

Most people have a strong desire to fit in, something that you don’t understand. Conformity is gross.

3. You like to solve problems.

While most people are running and hiding from problems, you purposely seek them because you love nothing more than a fresh new challenge.

4. You are your own worst critic.

You wrote a blog many months ago and thought it was wonderful at the time you published it. But then you read it again later and wonder, “What the hell was I thinking?” You then identify approximately a thousand ways it could have been better and kick yourself for being so stupid.

Note: Coincidentally, this is why I REFUSE to read my own old blogs and articles.

5. You ask lots of questions.

A stagnant mind devoid of curiosity doesn’t have the capacity to create.

6. You carry a notebook everywhere you go.

Because how else can you remember all those brilliant ideas that strike you on the fly?

7. You find beauty in the ordinary.

Creatives live in the present and are in constant awe of the world around them.

8. You are numb to rejection.

Let’s face it: it’s a hard world out there. If becoming a writer or actor or artist was easy, a lot more people would do it. Getting that dreaded rejection letter stinks at first, but eventually you become able to just shrug it off and go on to the next one.

9. You understand the power of atmosphere.

There is a reason some authors travel to a rustic cabin or sandy beach to write their novels. Some atmospheres are more conducive to creativity than others. Maybe you like to pack up your laptop and go to a coffee shop, downtown bench, or under a tree at the park. Whatever the case may be, you know the locations that boost your creative juices.

10. You think most people have poor taste.

You might find the movies and music most people enjoy to be downright terrible. I don’t know about you, but I believe SADNESS dies every time someone listens to NICKELBACK gringringrin wink

11. You are a people-watcher.


Why do people watch TV when real life is infinitely more interesting?

12. You aren’t in it for the money.

Money pays bills but it doesn’t provide happiness. There are much easier ways to make a living. This isn’t about money, it’s about passion.

13. You experience emotional highs and lows.

Your emotional life is not a straight line. Instead, it is more like the path of a roller-coaster full of dips, drops, hills, loops, and twists. Sometimes you might experience an eruption of happiness and a crash to sadness within mere moments of each other. The most painful parts usually find themselves in your art.

14. You seek inspiration.

Inspiration doesn’t happen on its own. Whether it is the opening of an art gallery, a theatrical production, or live music at a downtown bar, you search for inspiration wherever you can find it. It’s nice to know you’re not alone in your desire to create.

15. You have an interesting sense of humor.

Off-color jokes are the best kind of jokes.

16. You evolve like a boss.

An ability to adapt to challenging scenarios is necessary for survival in the creative jungle.

17. You hate stereotypes.

You understand that human beings are way too complicated to be dumped into gender roles or stereotypes.

18. You don’t have a filter.

Don’t you think life would be much more fun if everyone just said what they were thinking with no filter? There is no such thing as TMI (Too Much Information).

19. You take time to think.

Your brain is your greatest asset.

20. You don’t bend to pressure.

Whether it’s a hater who thinks your work of art sucks, a family member who thinks “you should get a real job,” or a friend who thinks your idea “will never work,” you don’t cave to outside pressure.

okpara ugo:

Story, everyone is claiming to be creative here but cant fix your car when its down. Your mechanic extorts you bcz you dont know his job. You call a carpenter to put up a poultry house for you, when you have wood and nail. You claim to be creative but you are still unempolyed. You are creative yet you have never converted one of your skills to a money generating venture...

Then you are a dumbass.,,

do u know dat guy in person or what?

demmy55: I exhibit most of these but I still do not think I'm creative.

If you truly exhibit most of it, then you are not only creative you are more than creative more lies within you than you can ever imagine the knowledge of all kinds of things is in you, just take time to find it out, i must confess and admit that the most difficult thing in life is the adequate and accurate knowledge of oneself to find out who the real you is will take good time and most cases you will need to be extremely sensitive to your mood any slight change in mood the things that affects you psychologically and the things that boosts your morale your center of interest and point of your knowledge when all these things are achieved when you know this, then you will start to see the creativity in you, mind you it might not be what everybody will like or appreciate infact it might not gel people in the first place but when you continue well in it, you will be better for it then your creativity will spring out at this point I tell you this idea of yours, you will be the only one ever that would have ever come up with it then you are on the path of destiny leading to the hall of fame.... You don't need to think much to be creative it is within you just discover it then, Genius arrived... SEE your there man you are creative... CHeers... smiley smiley smiley

lol, two under twos are now four and almost three. I've failed myself in that aspect because I've gone on to follow a different career path, presently studying adult nursing. But no day passes by without me wishing I just sit down and write. Ive read my 'Hemingway:on writing' quite inspirational yet I've stil not managed to get myself out of this lull. It pains my heart because that's the only thing I genuinely want to do but family commitment requires I get a regular job to contribute to the standard of life we want to live, hence, nursing. Thanks for asking #StoryofMyLife

I write pieces here and there and write my own poems anytime I want to say hello to close friends but never near what I hoped to achieve by now. None for the money, just a desire to open a flood of thought and imagination which haunt me any day any time.

Hmmm....you are tough i must say...but you know those little pieces you write can makeup that book you soo much desire to write.
procrastination is very bad...take thatfrom someone who has been on a 1000 word fiction for more than two months. we can never know how good we are until we attempt that we so much dread.
greet those angels of yours for me..it is your duty to teach and instill in them the 'go and get' spirit most of us lack. gracias
