Great post by Dr. Susan Weinschenk about The Four Types of Creativity.
Creativity can be either emotionally or cognitively based, and it can also be spontaneous or deliberate. That gives you the four quadrants.
- Deliberate/Cognitive
- Deliberate/Emotional
- Spontaneous/Cognitive
- Spontaneous/Emotional
Its fascinating, especially because I can point to specific times where I’ve had moments in all quadrants.
