"Odd behavior and creativity may go hand in hand"

Postby HAL 2000 on Wed Aug 20, 2008 2:43 pm

Lets look at the positive side of life, eh:

Odd behavior and creativity may go hand in hand

Often viewed as a hindrance, having a quirky or socially awkward approach to life may be the key to becoming a great artist, composer or inventor.

New research on individuals with schizotypal personalities – people characterized by odd behavior and language but who are not psychotic or schizophrenic – offers the first neurological evidence that they are more creative than either normal or fully schizophrenic individuals, and rely more heavily on the right sides of their brains than the general population to access their creativity.

Well I consider myself creative. I've studied architecture and web design, which are both relatively creative.

How about you guys?

I'm very creative. I do a writing course at university level. I also write in my spare time and create noise music.

Hi melody,

The link doesn't work. Could you upload a picture to tinypic and post it here? I'd like to see your stuff!

And Ecco,
Your tracks remind me of a guy I used to know and his music. You might like it. His music can be heard on Facebook:
