Among other things, you need to be able to generate new possibilities or new alternatives. Tests of creativity measure not only the number of alternatives generated but the uniqueness of those alternatives. The ability to generate alternatives or to see things uniquely does not occur by change; it is linked to other, more fundamental qualities of thinking, such as flexibility, tolerance of ambiguity or unpredictability, and the enjoyment of things heretofore unknown. |  | Characteristics of the creative personality: - Have a great deal of energy, but they are also often quiet and at rest.
