ok, so "creative" here means the creative use of all qualities - struck me as an odd choice of word.

maybe Reactives.

There are some interesting Indian websites that expose Gandhi's less than saintly biography. Looks manufactured. Like so many "saints". Einstein refused to become the first PM of Israel, so at least smart enough to avoid becoming a manufactured good. ;-)

Relativity as a physics word was very useful in also promoting relativism as a philosophy. Interesting in modern science public propaganda that the two branches with the least connection to human experiences - quantum mechanics and relativity - have been so heavily pushed for their weirdness, and yet the far more important branch of electromagnetism has very very few popular books.

No, Creatives are the artists of life. It has to do with being incredibly sensitive, as in their senses are more intense than other Life Energies. Creatives know what it is like to be Dynamic, but Dynamics don't know what it's like to be Adaptive, nor do Adaptives understand the world of Dynamics. Creatives know both, and hence the title of their chapter Life's Interpreters.

Reactives are actually an archetype of the generational theory. That would be my generation, Generation X... and the Lost Generation of the Roaring 20s.

The Lost Generation came of age during a time of self-discovery, and new exciting philosophies. Freud published new psychological theories in 1900. Electrical inventions were starting to be produced for mass-consumption. Modern art movements were starting to shock the public, and push the boundaries of what was acceptable. Women’s clothing changed, skirts got shorter, women sported a cropped hairstyle. The coming of age for this generation was the Roaring Twenties. The stock market was used as a way to get rich quick. Prohibition was being pushed by the Missionary Gen, and irrelevantly dismissed by the Lost Gen who were famous for speak-easies, bootlegging, and moonshine. F. Scott Fitzgerald was the spokesperson for his generation. A generation who loved the decadence of the early century, but also got lost in the frivolity of the times. Most of WWI soldiers were of the Lost Generation. Hemmingway is said to be coin the label “a lost generation..” The 1910s-1920s was a time of decadence, affluence, and social unravel. Compare to the 1980s-1990s.

Yes, Gandhi had his dark side, and I remember hearing that he was mean towards his wife, unlike what was presented in the movie about his life. I do not believe in Saints, as in the idea that a human being can be seen as all good. And in the Life Energy model, all have an Up Side/Down Side.

Falls in line with the idea that Dynamic Assertives prefer not to take on positions of power, unless they are doing it as part of some cause they are fighting: Nelson Mandela, Ralph Nader, Robert Kennedy... or there is Barack Obama who did it more for ego. And the interesting twist is that it was actually Michelle Obama who is the Dynamic Aggressive in office. Same thing happened with President Jimmy Carter, who was a Dynamic Supportive, with a Dynamic Aggressive wife. You won't make it to that level without the support of Dynamic Aggressives.

the least connection to human experiences - quantum mechanics and relativity...

So you think electromagnetism would better help us understand human nature? During the 00s, I actually grew tired of always hearing Quantum this, and Quantum that, whenever human nature was the subject. For a time, I was even guilty of this!
