I'm not sure about that. For me, the best definition of a creative person is 'a person who creates something'. They can have all kinds of characteristics. @ Andrey – I’ll try to do worse next time. ;-)

I would add that one does not have to be in a traditional "creative" job to use creativity. I have observed builders working around both their customer's designs and a lack of level or square corners to produce beautiful work. Engineers get a bum rap for being too left-brained and yet, some of them create technology that simply upends how we know ourselves. Much like the Romantic poets challenged what was known in their time. I'm not saying that creativity must be used only to radically change the world. Creativity is manifested by the work of the artist, whether the artist is a poet, copywriter, or engineer. It is important to look beyond our preconceptions of who is a creative person.
