What does it take to be creative?
Some of the key traits include:
- Energy: Creative people tend to possess a great deal of both physical and mental energy. However, they also tend to spend a great deal of time quietly thinking and reflecting.
- Intelligence: Psychologists have long believed that intelligence plays a critical role in creativity. Researchers found that while high IQ was necessary for great creativity, not all people with high IQs are creative. Creative people must be smart, capable of looking at things in fresh, even naïve, ways.
- Discipline: Creative people do not just sit around waiting for inspiration to strike.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
