Creative people tend to be both extroverted and introverted. We'reusually one or the other, either preferring to be in the thick of crowdsor sitting on the sidelines and observing the passing show. In fact, in psychological research, extroversion and introversion are considered the most stable personality traits that differentiate people from each other and that can be reliably measured. Creative individuals, on the other hand, seem to exhibit both traits simultaneously.
Creative people are humble and proud at the same time. It is remarkable to meet a famous person who you expect to be arrogant or supercilious,only to encounter self-deprecation and shyness instead. Yet there are goodreasons why this should be so. These individuals are well aware that they stand, in New tons words, "on the shoulders of giants." Their respect for the area in which they work makes them aware of the long line of previous contributions to it, putting their own in perspective. They're also aware of the role that luck played in their own achievements. And they're usually so focused on future projects and current challenges that past accomplishments,no matter how outstanding, are no longer very interesting to them.
