Artistic (A)

Who is the creator?

Artistic types enjoy expressing themselves and look for original ways to give shape to ideas. They love freedom, dislike strict rules and are attracted to beauty, imagination and self-expression. They see the world differently from most people — and that is precisely their strength.

Strengths

• Creative and original thinking
• Highly developed aesthetic sense
• Flexible and open to new experiences
• Expressive and communicative
• Imagination and innovation
• Sensitive to atmosphere and detail

Work style

Artistic types thrive in a free, unstructured environment. Tight deadlines and fixed procedures stifle their creativity. They prefer working on projects where they can put their own stamp on things. Inspiration comes in waves — they perform best when given the space to follow their own rhythm.

Typical work environments: Studio, design agency, theatre, editorial office, music studio, advertising agencies, museums.
