Creative Types Shape the Future is an exploration of human creativity in an evolving world.
Rooted in the science of personality, the test assesses your basic psychological orientation — your natural way of thinking, problem-solving, and collaborating — to reveal where your creative strengths lie and how they might serve as a force for progress and innovation. Answer the 15 questions, contemplate your Type, and gain insight into your creative orientation and what you bring to the collective.
In a time of accelerating change, we are challenged to reimagine what it means to be human — and to fully unlock our creative potential to dream and build the world of tomorrow. These eight Types are an invitation to reflect on the power of human creativity and to celebrate the many ways we can express ourselves for the betterment of us all.
By connecting with your own unique way of driving change, you’ll be empowered to step up as a creator of our shared future.
