Saw this news story earlier and wondered if the fact that I'm not that creative is good for me. I suspect it is a case of correlation and not causation in what has been found but it could explain some of why people are like they are and why they can do what they do. What I do requires a very logical and methodical though process. Wandering off and just making things up generally doesn't work and leads to spectacular failures.
But then you think, is it really that much of a surprise there is a rough connection. In order to think up something weird your brain has to be thinking about things unrelated to what you are doing there and then. Not sure that is the best way to describe it but when I think about something my brain works through it logically so trying to make something up I only use what I know of generally. Making something completely new usually completely escapes me.
So the next time you get called a raving lunatic reply that you are simply a misunderstood creative genius.
do you have no worries for your overly creative wife though :P
