Breakthrough Creativity Profile
Creativity isn’t a trait that belongs
only to entrepreneurs, artists, and geniuses. The fact is, all of us
are born creative. And in today’s world, in which old ways of doing
business are constantly being challenged, the ability to produce
different and valuable results is the competitive edge for
individuals and organizations.
The Breakthrough Creativity Profile by creativity expert Dr.
Lynne Levesque is based on a well-grounded theory and the
personality research of Carl Jung. The 16-item assessment reveals
one’s dominant and auxiliary preferences among the 8 creative
talents and helps individuals define what is needed to achieve their
creative best.
Learning Outcomes
· Identify preferences among the 8 creative talents
· Better understand creativity and its impact on individual success
· Recognize the contributions and challenges of preferred talents
· Practice tapping into creative talents
· Develop an action plan to better utilize one’s creative talents
Once individuals have discovered their creative talents, the profile
can be used to assess the creative talents of a team.
Theory
The 8 creative talents at the heart of the Breakthrough Creativity
Profile are based on Jung’s personality research and a 3-part theory
of creativity.
The Breakthrough Creativity Approach:
· Everyone is creative.
· Creativity must be broadly defined.
· There is no ideal model or one best way to be creative.
The 8 creative talents as they relate to Jung’s theory include:
Introverted and
Extraverted Talents
How it Works
First, participants recognize the many ways to define creativity
through a series of exploratory questions. The assessment then
presents 16 questions relating to one’s behavior at work. After
scoring the assessment, participants gain insight on their
individual and team creative talents through interpretive
information, an exercise, a team profile, and discussion questions.
The action planning section of the Participant Guide then gauges
individual rating of creativity and prompts thinking about behaviors
that will help individuals and teams enhance creativity.
