About

I am an artist. I am a psychologist. I am a scientist. I am a writer. I am a nerd. I am an optimist. I am a pessimist. I am a purist. I am a skeptic. I am an introvert, except when I am playing extrovert. I am very, very, very, intuitive. I am extremely motivated to achieve all that I can, and I will never stop trying. I am a student......forever.

I am the girl at the party upon first introduction that half of the people hate, and half of the people love, until they get to know me. Then the ones that hated me love me, and the ones who loved me do their best to destroy me.

I love dogs. I love reading. I love learning. I LOVE LEARNING. I need to learn, about anything and everything, ALL THE TIME. And after I learn it, I need to share it with everyone.

I hate snobs. I hate cruelty. I hate arrogance. I hate betrayal. I have no tolerance for injustice.
I love confidence. I love ambition. I love kindness. I love puppies. I love people who stand up for what they believe in, even when no one else in the world sees the brilliance in their ideas yet. Because someday, they will see the brilliance in your ideas and take the credit for them. So then you keep coming up with more unpopular but brilliant ideas, and the cycle continues.....

Discussion on Creativity and Psychopathology (parts1-8) - see all 8

The future of Creativity research.... and the "Trait Spindle Theory of Creativity" (part 8) 1 week ago

I believe that the real direction that creativity research is going is to look at not only Schizophrenia, but also other forms of psychopathology as well, comparing the differences and similarities in the cognitive functioning and what that implies about the benefits of creative individuals' neuroanatomy.
