Effect of Creative Personality on Self-Awareness and Self-Acceptance

Abstract

A study was carried out on creative personality to understand its impact on other variables. The focus of this study was to see if creative personality has an effect on self-awareness and self-acceptance. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are two crucial characteristics of a healthy personality. It is known by now that self-awareness, which is a part of emotional quotient, is a key barometer for success in life. It helps people be aware of their feelings and thoughts and helps them enhance their interpersonal relations. Positive and healthy interpersonal relations create a healthy environment and promote values required not only for individual success but also for group success as well. Self-acceptance helps people accept their strengths and weakness so that they can work on themselves in deficient areas. This awareness and training are intended to increase healthy competition with reduce jealousies, politicking and mind games. By focusing on training children in developing creative personality, if the above mentioned two qualities can be inculcated it would be beneficial to children to have a smooth life. Results do confirm the above-mentioned hypothesis. Therefore, these results can be used in Schools, colleges and offices to develop self-awareness and self-acceptance. Government, schools and offices can organize various seminars, workshops and other activities to promote creative personality in students and employees. Sixty-four college students aged 18 to 25 were asked to fill the questionnaires using snowball sampling technique. The data was collected online using Google forms.
