✨When They Shine
They’re asked to solve ambiguous, open-ended problems.
- There’s space for experimentation, trial, and iteration.
- Originality is valued more than efficiency.
- Risk-taking is encouraged and failure is seen as part of the process.
- They can build from zero, not just tweak what’s already built.
🌱What They Thrive On
Creative energy, problem-solving, and high-stimulation brainstorming
⏰Ideal Work Schedule
- Morning creativity sprints (while fresh)
- Whiteboarding or idea sessions, preferably with open-minded collaborators
- Protected time for free thinking or prototyping
- Not too many long meetings or rigid processes
- Space to iterate and bounce between ideas quickly
🎵 Best Rhythm
Energizing starts to the day, with 1–2 peak creative blocks (60–90 minutes), and spontaneous flex time for creative bursts.
