Why Creative People Sometimes Make No Sense by Matthew Schuler

I’ve been having an insightful shuffle through Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s book Creativity: The Work and Lives of 91 Eminent People.
Mihaly is a seminal professor of Psychology and Management, and is the
Founding Co-Director of the Quality of Life Research Center at
Claremont. He writes:
“I have devoted 30 years of research to how creative people live and work, to make more understandable the mysterious process by which they come up with new ideas and new things. If I had to express in one word what makes their personalities different from others, it’s complexity. They show tendencies of thought and action that in most people are segregated. They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an individual, each of them is a multitude.”
Nine out of the ten people in me strongly agree with that statement.
As someone paid to be creative, I sometimes feel kaleidoscopic in my
views or opinions, and that “multitude” of expressions sometimes
confuses those around me. Why does that happen? My thoughts make
cohesive sense to me, yet others sometimes feel that I am contradicting
myself or switching positions. What is wrong with me?
