Still, I think the autor has mixed up things a bit.

It’s different to be creative from being a risk taker. Yes, the creative person will have the virtues described in 1,3,4,5,7,8,9,10.

But I don’t think they *hate* rules (6). They just can’t abide to them. Which in their case, is their strength. Being creative is not an ideology and is nothing you are proud of. It just comes out of your mind and heart and makes you happy to occupy yourself with.

But most of all, has risk taking very little to do with creativity. If you think about creative people in science or art, they are very risk averse people, some even very fearful. They need people who free them from the risk, so that they can blossom and develop their ideas. Whild e.g. the risk taker could be an enterpreneur, the creative people are those who enjoy being creative, while having a stable job. Without a secure environment, creative people can’t be creative. (Let’s not talk about creative manipulations and creative fraud here…)

Being creative is normally a totally different state of mind, then that of taking risk and loving adventure.

God loves and uses them both!
