Persons with a Creative Pattern display opposite forces in their behavior. Their desire for tangible results is
counterbalanced by an equally strong drive for perfection and their aggressiveness is tempered by sensitivity.

Although they think and react quickly‚ they are restrained by the wish to explore all possible solutions before making a decision.

Creative persons exhibit foresight when focusing on
projects‚ and they bring about change. Since individuals with a Creative Pattern have a drive for perfection and demonstrate considerable planning ability‚ the changes they make are likely to be sound‚ but the method may lack attention to interpersonal relationships.

Creative persons want freedom to explore‚ and they want the authority to examine and retest findings. They can make daily decisions quickly but may be extremely cautious when making bigger decisions: "Should I take that promotion?" "Should I move to another location?" In their drive for results and perfection‚ Creative persons may not be concerned about social poise. As a result‚ they may be cool‚ aloof‚ or blunt.
