If you are looking for characteristics of a creative thinker, then read on. There are several of them, and each of them has something to do with the way that they approach problem solving. Whether they are creative writers, artists, musicians or engineers, they all have one thing in common, they can get you motivated and excited about their ideas.


They are very imaginative people, so they often have an instinctual need to find things out, or to discover new things. These people have the ability to see problems differently. They may think of them in terms of how they will help solve them. They can use their imagination to overcome many obstacles, by thinking outside of the box.

Another characteristic of a creative thinker is being able to quickly adapt and change their mind. They will not allow themselves to become stuck in their idea because they believe that an idea is too complicated or because they believe it is impossible. Instead, they will be willing to change their minds and make changes to the original idea, if it does not work.

An artistic, creative thinker may also be very innovative. They may be good at creating their own words or images, or even music from their ideas. This type of person will often be very visual and use their imagination when it comes to their creations. This creative thinker also enjoys building things, but may not always like to build things that others will see.

When an artistic, creative thinker is faced with challenges, they will often look for different methods of getting around those obstacles. They may look for a shortcut or a secret route. Their creativity can often lead them to unexpected places that other people have not explored. This is a trait that most people would find difficult to possess.

A creative thinker can be very insightful. They may find a solution to a problem that others have not thought about or have not yet found. They may also have a sense of humor, which is one of the reasons why they are such good writers, artists and musicians.

Some creative thinkers are good at problem solving, but lack the interpersonal skills needed to succeed in business or other areas of their lives. They may be good at brainstorming, but are not particularly good at asking questions, or listening to what other people have to say.

Creative thinkers can often take risks. They may take more risks than others and try new things. However, when they fail, they will accept their failures and move on to try again.

Creative thinkers tend to be very optimistic. They may think of many things at one time and have the ability to see past their current problems and focus on the future. They may have great optimism about the future and believe that things will work out for the best.

Creative thinkers may be very analytical, but this doesn't mean that they cannot be imaginative. In fact, many creative thinkers have great imaginations and are able to see things that are not visible to the naked eye.

Creative thinkers may also have an interest in learning and may have a passion for something that is not related to their field of study. This type of person may have an interest in writing but may be able to do well in business.

Creative thinkers are often creative listeners. They may enjoy music, especially if it is relaxing music. Music is a great way to clear their mind and to help them think.


Creative thinkers are a unique breed of human being. The traits listed above are only a small sampling of the qualities of a creative thinker. Each person is unique and has their own unique set of characteristics that may differ from the other.
