Loudness: 2

Description: The Creative voice is another quiet voice that can be hard to hear, especially when in the presence of loud, opinionated voices like the Connectors and Pioneers. The Creative genius, which possesses an extraordinary gift for visioning the future, can easily be missed. Creatives are amazing conceptual architects and love scanning the horizon; they are often drawn to new trends in ideas and technology. They come equipped with an early warning radar system that gives them the ability to sense danger where values run the risk of being compromised, and they can see opportunities, solutions, and possibilities for the future long before they become reality. The Creative voice invariably prefers to listen and process other contributions internally before responding. When asked for input, often their first thoughts come out in a way that others find confusing or even critical— they need others to invest time, asking them clarifying questions, which gives them the space to allow the right answer to surface. When other voices are patient in this process, they will be amazed at the gold a Creative is able to contribute. Creatives are invariably idealists and internal perfectionists who also have a strong social conscience. Creatives need to know it\'s safe to share their ideas; if they get shot down too often, or judged on their initial input, they will stop bringing their best.
