Quiet, sensitive, shy, and laid-back are all words that would apply to them. However, I did noticed them to be much less tolerant of disturbances. When working on an especially difficult problem, loud music, clerical work, group meetings and report writing were all viewed as interruptions or distractions. They preferred to be alone in a quiet area when thinking. Also, when they were not concentrating on a problem they were very easy to get along with and they had a keen sense of humor.
Creative individuals have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge .
When not working on a project, they would soak up information from every conceivable source. Technical journals, text books and magazines were voraciously consumed. It didn't seem to matter what the subject was, as long as it was interesting, they read it. Creative individuals tended to generalists . They were happier knowing a little bit about many different subjects than concentrating in one specific area.
