As a Creator, you will find yourself as someone who’s naturally gifted in creating new things. Your creativity is boundless, and your mind is capable of turning even the most mundane thing into perfection itself.

Furthermore, you also possess a special degree of optimism– you never falter despite the pointlessness others may see. In fact, your archetype is most aware that true creation depends on your disposition. Thinking positively helps with this immensely.

Thus, you are beloved by many people. Your endlessly creative mind, combined with your optimistic outlook on life means that people can turn to you to fully restore morale in any given situation. You are a beacon of joy, and people adore you for this simple fact.

Basic Qualities

Introvert

You are:

• Perceiving
• Eloquent
• Independent
• Introspective
• Attentive

As an introvert, you are a calm, perceptive character. You do not rush into the heat of battle or allow your emotions to get the best of you. Instead, you allow yourself to perceive your environment and make careful decisions based on all available data. Thus, the decisions you make are often logical.

Aside from this, you are also more likely to think before you speak. You are aware that words have the ability to sway people or change reality. This makes you highly eloquent and capable of convincing people with your views in a passionate yet well-thought-out way.

Things to pay attention to:

• Being overlooked
• Overthinking
• Being mislabeled
• Anxiety
• Insecurity

An introvert’s strength can sometimes be their own weakness. While you take significant pride in your solitude, you are nevertheless social and aware that you make an impression on other people with each move. For this reason, you can be anxious and insecure about your own performance and image.

In addition, your own love of caution can cause you to read into situations too much. This can lead to slower decision-making, which can harm other people, especially when speed is a necessity. Truly, an introvert’s true enemy can be their very own selves, so you should watch your back.

Egocentric

You are:

• Self-regarded
• Self-aware
• Decisive
• Logical
• Professional

Most people are quick to crucify the egoist. In fact, you’ve probably been perceived as someone who looks only after yourself and your possessions. When helping others, you often do so knowing that you will benefit in some way, and people sometimes can’t help but think you’re only using them for your own advancement. In a way, you are perceived as entirely Machiavellian.

But this is a folly. Self-interested as you are, selfishness isn’t exactly a bad thing. After all, it represents the part of our instinct that tells us to look after ourselves, and in this regard, you are a pro. Because of your fundamental desire to survive, you are cunning, decisive, and always precise about what you do. You are, therefore, extremely reliable.

Things to pay attention to:

• Rudeness
• Pride
• Selfishness
• Insincerity
• Loneliness

Predictably, the egoist’s true enemy is his own friend: yourself. The irony of this is magnified in part because you are supposed to know yourself completely. However, even with your immense self-knowledge, you can still fall prey to your worst impulses, manifested in your occasional bouts of arrogance.

If you cannot control the worst of your own impulses, you may feel extremely lonely. This is because none of these traits can make people approach you sincerely; every last bit of these only turns people away. As such, you should try your hardest to be empathetic and understand other people’s perspectives.

Rational

You are:

• Critical
• Logical
• Persuasive
• Articulate
• Efficient

Rational people are sometimes seen as cold and calculating. Indeed, you can give this impression yourself because of how often you use your mind more than your heart. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. You are acutely aware that the world is an unpredictable place and that one needs to make sense of it to make things work for themselves and everyone else.

For this reason, you prefer the use of reason before reckless impulse. To you, there is a right place and time for unleashing one’s true feelings. In the meantime, problems should be solved first in order to facilitate the perfect outcome. This capacity for patience and wisdom makes you a valuable ally to anyone who seeks your help.

Things to pay attention to:

• Arrogance
• Condescension
• Manipulation
• Inflexibility
• Excessive criticism

Rational people often live inside their own heads. As such while you can pull off a lot of good things and actually help others find their way with your natural grasp of logic and reason, it can also pave the way for elitism. After all, intellect is one of humanity’s most sought-after talents. Sure, you can lift your muscle and impress people, but you can destroy lives with just your own mind.

Such is the overwhelming power of the spirit that it can sometimes overtake you and make you completely unbendable in the face of critique. You may think yourself too superior to be subjected to criticism or even criticize and be sarcastic to people who are just asserting themselves. As such, you people need to keep your pride in check to prevent stagnation and conflict.

Calm

You are:

• Sensitive
• Optimistic
• Good at decision-making
• Self-aware
• Disciplined

Calmness is an advantage that often shines when situations get particularly stressful. The ability to preserve one’s sense of discipline and awareness truly goes a long way when confronted with difficult situations, as you remain able to approach things your way without being dictated by outside forces.

Ultimately, this means you are a great decision-maker. Sometimes, the people around you won’t see the wisdom of your choices, but because you are meticulous with your decisions, they often realize in hindsight that your choices are in fact superior. As such, it’s easy to see why calm people often make great leaders.

Things to pay attention to:

• Monotonous
• Predictable
• Aloof
• Uptight
• Being seen as spineless

Being calm, however, comes with its own weaknesses. You may be extremely patient, but more outgoing people can see you as somewhat aloof and disconnected. Due to your adherence to strict routines, they may think that your mind is closed to change or unable to adapt to situations.

Indeed, the latter is particularly difficult because calmness in the face of adversity can be seen as cowardice. People may clamor more for action in stressful times, so telling them to stop and think may simply drive them further to a frenzy. You will often be misunderstood as a result.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Independence

One essential condition for creation is freedom. As such, Creators are some of the freest spirits around. They are particularly independent in 2 specific ways: mentally and externally.

Externally, Creators aim to have secure finances and the ability to truly live their passions without anyone dictating over them. As such, you are thrifty yet have lots of savings to show for your work. You live below your means, act below your means, and often thrive as a result.

Purpose

Creators need a drive in order to make things happen. Luckily, this is something that you aren’t lacking. Your purpose in life not only serves as your overwhelming driving force, but it’s also limitless and is a reliable fallback when all else fails.

This means that when the going gets tough, you won’t just lie down and quit. You’ll actually get your act together and figure out the best possible solution for the crisis. Since you are dedicated to your work, it naturally means that people around you will see you as a source of strength.

Efficiency

In the pursuit of creation, doing the maximal amount of work for the least amount of resources is most often optimal. This allows you to focus on other aspects of your life.

As a Creator, it’s naturally expected that you are an efficient worker. When you create, you don’t just let yourself and your mind go; you actually conserve some much-needed energy and time to make sure you are able to get around everything you want to do– hobbies or extra work alike.

Emotional Intelligence

As a creative personality, you are often feeling so many emotions at once. With each emotion felt, you are able to view reality from multiple perspectives. Ironically enough, despite the harrowing experience, this might provide you at times, it makes you more capable of empathy than most.

This is because you are more capable of putting yourself in everybody’s shoes at some point. This works, for example, in the workplace, where you’re surrounded by people who each have their own quirks and emotions for the day. You are able to feel their sadness, joy, and even pain.

Weaknesses

Misunderstanding

With creation comes the inevitable fact that some people are going to misunderstand you. This is inevitable because creation is linked to your own personal identity. With this in mind, it’s therefore understandable that certain social groups may not seem so welcoming to you and that people in the workplace may not initially understand the brilliance behind the mind.

As such, it can be saddening to live as a Creator, to the point where you often get into arguments with other people over the fact that your idea of creativity is never really conventional. This unconventionality, therefore, brings forth certain points of friction that can prove devastating to a relationship.

Loneliness 

Loneliness is another constant problem of the Creator, and this is often because of two things: you might, for example, space out in a conversation or situation to the point where you end up living in your own world and then regret it much later. However, it might also be due to the intimidation that people might feel about your abilities.

On the first point, this is due to the fact that you have an introverted nature. As a Creator, you often have a lot of things on your mind, and you are just waiting for the right opportunity to see your thoughts take fruit. Unfortunately, there’s often such a long time between the thought and the execution that you often tend to fantasize about what might happen next. This can either be in a romantic or an intellectual sense and when you are in this state of total wanting, you may become too lonely.

Opinionated

Another attribute that a Creator would have is their tendency to have opinions on all kinds of things. Your mind tends to love wandering around and exploring topics, and as such, you may well be one of the only people in your social group who rarely runs out of things to say. To you, everything is fair game: political affairs, fandoms, or even how people should conduct themselves.

However, this could also be a weakness in that you may have a tendency to completely derail or otherwise sour a conversation. The fact is that sometimes, while it is productive to discourse with friends, there are times where it is wiser to simply say nothing, especially since doing so may sometimes rub people off the wrong way. They might, for example, become too stressed to state their opinions on matters in front of you because you could hijack a conversation and turn it into a critiquing of your friends.

Overcautiousness

To be cautious is a good thing for Creators since it’s the one thing that allows them to regulate their own desire for overexpansion. However, they may also be crippled with such insecurity and uncertainty in themselves that they become too cautious about what they do. When this happens, it may seem impossible to even try to get anything done, and your morale might drop the more people outdo or surpass you.

This unfortunate spiral can manifest itself in multiple ways. At work, for example, you may be given enough creative freedom to start something yourself, but because you’re too doubtful, you may end up only sticking to what works and never really feeling all that fulfilled on an emotional level.

Romantic Relationships

Honest

Due to your calm nature, you often feel emotionally certain and secure. Whereas other archetypes tend to be turbulent and unsure, you are inclined to focus on stability and honesty. 

When you are in a relationship, this tendency will bring balance. As such, you may have a tendency to look for a person who naturally embodies this honest attitude as well. This is because a relationship cannot work if there is no honesty between the two parties.

Given this, you are likely to look at love from the perspective of truth. If I am telling the truth, is the one I’m with also doing the same? How can I trust my romantic partner and know that they’re holding up their end of the bargain?

Dominant

Looking at the core qualities of your archetype, we’ll see a Creator who seeks nothing less than love in its absolute, most perfect form. You are likely to try and tailor it to your image of perfection, and will therefore be a dominant personality.

This trait often manifests in your likelihood to look for a romantic setup that actually caters to this desire. When you find the right person, you will often convince them to do this for you, not necessarily for your own personal sake (such as money, etc), but you may think of trying to make sure that everything is perfect. 

Friendships

Low-maintenance

One key trait of your archetype is your relative ability to stay close with your friends without the need for much interaction. This means that you don’t have to hang out every month or even every year. Your best friends in high school and even middle school are likely still in contact with you– suggesting longevity.

For instance, you may be content with just talking to your friends online or playing a game every once in a while. You may also be happy with big celebrations and then splitting apart for a few months as you go about your usual business. This is because you know that there is more to friendship than just hanging out.

Wise

Creators aren’t just makers of new things– they are also keepers of conventional wisdom. This is because they are aware that for something new to spring forth, one must learn to study the old, proven ways of our time. As such, they are likely going to be extremely perceptive and analytical about daily experiences.

In terms of friends, this means that you have a complete understanding of life that other people naturally find desirable. You are capable of giving people sagely advice in any area– be it love, work, or any other field in life, and the more you actually do give people advice, the more their faith in you increases.

Workplace Habits

Works with fewer people

In the workplace, Creators love to keep communication to a minimum. Naturally inclined to work alone, Creators tend to thrive the fewer views they have to clash with. As a Creator, you are likely to exhibit this habit and will be willing to even guide team members towards achieving the tasks. 

As a rule, this is consistent with the fact that you’re an introvert. This means that you are able to truly exploit your talent when you are not supervised or told what to do every step of the way. The more you are left alone, the more you’re able to do for your team. It’s a paradox but something that works relative to your own unique strengths.

Likes working on personal legacy

Being a Creator, part of your goal is to leave a legacy that lots of people will talk about. In fact, your greatest nightmare is to go down in history as someone who has ultimately done nothing. You want to leave something for future generations, and to those around you, you want to give them hope and ultimately think of you as a great person who regularly overcomes expectations.

With such extraordinary ambitions, it is therefore not surprising that you would choose work that ultimately boosts your stock in the future. Lots of archetypes are often content with simply performing their duties, but for your part, there is a part of you that works for the praise and the gratification of knowing that people have lots of confidence in you, even though you work alone.

Demands concrete objectives and principles

Creators have a rational side to them that naturally favors having detailed plans. As such, you are often at home with work that naturally has well-defined objectives. When applying for jobs, you don’t tend to just hunt for anything you can find– you also look at what the job description states and do your own research.

Of course, you’re not just after what the company’s objectives are, either. You’re also into their own vision and always thinking about whether or not their culture or beliefs are compatible with yours. This contributes to your personal staying power within the company. Because of your own inevitably firm belief in the right company’s ideals, when you do end up finding the right fit, you will undoubtedly stay.

Manages workload efficiently

As a Creator with a calm personality, you tend to approach work with an eye for method and pace. You don’t allow yourself to burn out or greet things haphazardly and will often try and make sure that your workload is managed efficiently. What often happens, as a result, is that you get more free time, and you waste far fewer resources and creative power.

Consequently, when you spend less time procrastinating, you’re actually able to produce work of greater quality. This is because you’ll have more room in your head to think. This also means you’ll be less stressed when dealing with life’s problems.
