Opening our minds
There is mounting evidence that personality is malleable, and cognitive training interventions shows promise to increase openness. Travel also broadens the mind.
However, the dark side to the permeability of consciousness that characterises open people is that it is linked to aspects of mental illness, such as being disposed to hallucination. Care should be taken not to see things that are not there.

Creative people do actually see the world differently. Here's why
The concept of creativity
The main idea to the concept of creativity is that some people see more possibilities than others.

Creative vision
Research found that open people don't just bring a different perspective, they really see things differently.
A visual perception phenomenon is called binocular rivalry - where two different images are presented to each eye simultaneously, such as a red patch to the right eye and a green to the left eye. The observer will flip between seeing one patch, then the other. Open people see both images at once, creating a fused or scrambled image.
Seeing things that others miss
Inattentional blindness is a perceptual phenomenon. People experience this when they are so focused on one thing that they fail to see something else.
Your susceptibility to inattentional blindness depends on your personality; open people are more likely to see things that others overlook.

Open-minded people are more focused
A recent study has come to the conclusion that open-minded persons possess the ability to focus on different things at the very same moment.
Even if there are distractions around them, these individuals still manage to concentrate and see everything that is going on in the room and, so, they are less prone to the so-called 'inattentional blindness'.
Our personality and perception of the world
Research has proven that individuals' personality plays an essential role in the way they perceive the world.
Therefore, it is very probable that our perception of the world changes at the same time with our personality.

Traits Of Creative People
In various studies, it is found that creative people tend to be more driven, impulsive, and self-confident.
They are less conventional and unorthodox in many aspects of life.
Openness to new ideas, curiosity and disagreeableness comes as common traits of creative individuals, as they are opposite of normal or popular, and like Steve Jobs, are a prickly personality.
Steps Of The Cognitive Process
Creativity can be learned as a cognitive skill using the following steps:
- Preparation: The basic rules, languages, and instructions in any skill.
- Incubation: When ideas wander in your brain's neural network, lost in the wild.
- Illumination: This is the Aha! Moment, the light bulb coming on.
- Verification: Where it is verified that the idea is real or just a random dream without legs.
