The first section gives one a clear idea what is creativity and helps you identify  your personal creative preferences. One also gets to learn about his/her full profile of individual preferences and temperaments.

The second sections lists down  the 16 personality types where one gets to learn their strengths and weaknesses. Blind spots are listed out and tips are given on how to boost creativity.

In the third section  the authors show how you can use your creativity to thrive and for maximum effect.

First of all you will need to analyze and figure out what your personality type is before locating the correct section to read through.

My thoughts

It was interested to read and look at the personality types of my boys in relation to me and how I could help to develop their creativity.

Based on the descriptions here are the classifications which I derived.

Myself- ISTJ

Monkey Boy- ENFJ

Doggie Boy- INFP

Having both introvert and extrovert kid makes it difficult to create a home environment that is conclusive for both boys to develop their creative sides. However the explanations and tips given within the book do help me understand them better and give me an idea on how to guide each one of them.
