The creativity of a person's hands is rooted from his brain. What's in Picasso's brain and how he thinks might forever remain a mystery but through previous studies, scientists obtained an increase understanding of what happens inside the mind of a highly creative person. With the results from these studies, hypotheses were formed regarding their practices that shaped them to be more than ordinary.
They hunger for experiences. According to Scott Barry Kauffman, psychologist at New York University, A highly creative person is open for experiences. Having a mind open to experiences involves intellectual curiosity, reasoning, imagination and problem solving skills. "Openness to experience is consistently the strongest predictor of creative achievement. This consists of lots of different facets, but they're all related to each other: Intellectual curiosity, thrill seeking, openness to your emotions, and openness to fantasy. The thing that brings them all together is a drive for cognitive and behavioral exploration of the world, your inner world and your outer world," Kauffman stated.
They are too observant. Studies conducted by researchers from the University of Amsterdam and led by psychological scientist Matthijs Baas found the connection between creativity and observing skills. The results from two studies showed that a person who possess great observation skills is more creative than other people.
