Hello, fellow creative Steemians. Here is a fun quiz I'd like to share with you. I saw this on my Facebook feed, posted by a friend one morning more than a month ago. After liking the post and exchanging some pleasantries with my friend, he encouraged me to try it out and see what I would get. Being a fellow 3D artist with the same educational background, he surmised that I would probably end up with the same result as his. With my curiosity stoked, I armed myself with a cup of coffee, and headed over to the site to see what it was all about. It turned out to be a short quiz that would determine what type of creative you are. Although it looked somewhat whimsical and not to be taken seriously, its creators claim that it's backed by some psychology research, and inspired by popular personality tests such as the Myer-Briggs and the Enneagram. Since there were only 15 questions to answer, I decided that it was worth a few minutes of my time. Besides, it seemed like a good mental exercise to wake up my still sleepy brain.

## My Type, Your Type, Are You My Type? https://imgur.com/e7NBhDE.png Taking the quiz will give you a result of one of 8 creative personality types: the *[Artist](https://mycreativetype.com/type/artist/), [Thinker](https://mycreativetype.com/type/thinker/), [Adventurer](https://mycreativetype.com/type/adventurer/), [Maker](https://mycreativetype.com/type/maker/), [Producer](https://mycreativetype.com/type/producer/), [Dreamer](https://mycreativetype.com/type/dreamer/), [Innovator](https://mycreativetype.com/type/innovator/), or [Visionary](https://mycreativetype.com/type/visionary/).* Click on each one to learn about them. And each type has a downloadable collection of images, for use as badges in your social media accounts.

## My Result Yay! Just like two of my friends, I got **The Maker**. I had read up on the descriptions of some of the creative types before I took the quiz, and I knew right away that I wanted to be a Maker. https://imgur.com/XUlEF5U.png >*`Creative Strengths` Focus and dedication, ability to achieve mastery
`Untapped Potential` Taking creative risks, finding joy and play in the process
`Ideal Collaborator` The Visionary*

>*Driven, focused, and dedicated to the creative process, the MAKER has mastered the art of **manifesting ideas and visions** in three-dimensional form. Society greatly benefits from the work of MAKER types, who develop the systems, structures, tools, and innovations that the rest of us rely on.
One of the hardest workers of all the types, the MAKER is almost always **busy solving problems**, making headway on personally meaningful goals, and completing projects. There are few things that bring you more satisfaction than applying your brain power to crafting things and making progress in any form. You tend to excel in design, crafts, architecture, and other fields that blend artistry with business and technology.
You’re driven by tangible results, and you know how to deliver. A **quiet type**, you enjoy collaboration but generally prefer to work alone so you can focus on your own creative process. You know how to play the long game, and you’re not afraid to do the unglamorous legwork that goes into building something of value over time. Your **gifts of focus and dedication** can lead to achieving mastery and coming to be seen by others as an authority in your field.
Your biggest challenge? To **connect more deeply with your intuition and emotions** in order to bring forth ever more authentic and original work. Productivity is only half the equation of doing great work—the other half is inspiration. Creating the space to dream, imagine, and play can keep your work from becoming rote and mechanical.
Combine forces with the enterprising VISIONARY to take your creativity to new heights. The VISIONARY’s soaring imagination gives you permission to dream bigger and envision the impossible—and to fearlessly risk failure in order to make it a reality.*

## My Thoughts on Being A Maker I strongly identify with being a Maker as it fits me to a T, an accurate description of the ***Da Vinci-esque*** type of creative I am, one who likes to meld art and technology, and creating works involving complex and complicated technical procedures, that require a high level of intellect to learn and master. I cannot imagine being anything else. But, according to the quiz's creators, the results we get only identify our core personality, equipped with its unique set of basic habits and tendencies, that dictate how we think, act, and see the world. But humans are more than just what they are at the core. We are also capable of tremendous mental flexibilty and adaptation, that allow us to employ other ways of inventiveness and creativity, when our mood or necessity dictate. It's nice to know that the makers of this quiz has acknowledged this, and they've mentioned that the result isn't absolute, and that we are in fact a malleable mixture of all the other creative types. So, do not be surprised if you get another result if you take the quiz at another time. > *These personality types aren’t black-and-white labels. Think of them more as signposts pointing you toward your full creative potential. While there’s probably one core type that best describes you, you may change types at different points in your life and career, or even at different stages of the creative process. As a creative, you have a little bit of all eight Types inside you.*

And, when you find out what your creative type is, you can download the freebie file that contains various images of the character they designed for the type of creative you are. https://imgur.com/kAVfe8i.gif You can use them as badges in your social media accounts, just like this animated gif of the Maker. The characters were designed by a 3D artist named, *Anton Hjertstedt*, himself a maker like me. I guess I'll be using this animated gif here from now on. I'm looking forward to seeing others here take the quiz and see what they will get.
