Why Creativity?

Maybe someone told you that you weren't creative. A teacher. A boss. A culture that defines creativity too narrowly.

So you believed it. You stopped calling yourself creative. You left that part of yourself at home when you went to work.

But here's what I've discovered after decades of research and working with thousands of professionals: You've been using creativity to solve problems your entire life. You just never had words for it.

You connect people who need to meet. You see patterns others miss. You build systems that work. You teach complex ideas in a clear and simple way. You help others heal when they feel broken.

That's creativity. And once you see it, everything changes.

What Is Creativity?

Creativity is the intentional process of generating novel and useful ideas to solve complex problems.

Innovation is what happens when creativity is put to work. Organizations want innovation, and they get it by unlocking the creativity that's already on their team.

How Is The Hodges 12 Different?

You've probably taken personality assessments before. Maybe you know you're an INTJ, an Enneagram Three, or high in Strategic. Those tools are valuable, but they weren't built to answer this question: What is your creative problem-solving style?

Most assessments tell you who you are or what you're good at. The Hodges 12 tells you how you approach challenges.

When you take the assessment, you'll discover:

- Your creative superpowers

- What energizes you and what drains you

- Your blind spots and stress patterns

- Roles where you'll thrive vs. environments where you'll struggle

- How to develop your gift

- Famous people who share your type

- How to boost your creative breakthroughs
