On Creative people which could provide some insight into Palmistry

School does not seem to have had a great effect on many famous creative people, and even in college they were often not stars. Many people later considered geniuses were not particularly remarkable as children; what they always had more than others was curiosity.

It is a myth that there is one ‘creative personality’, however something all creative people seen to share is complexity - they ‘tend to bring the entire range of human possibilities within themselves’. In Jungian terms, they ‘own their shadow’, not repressing any dark side, yet on the other hand do not hold back in their self-expression.


Creative people take their intuition seriously, looking for patterns where others see confusion, and are able to make connections between discrete areas of knowledge.


The creative are often seen as arrogant, but this is usually because they wish to devote most of their attention to their exciting work
