“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” - Albert Einstein I believe this. This is true. All the time? Maybe not. But this is true, of most people, I think. Being someone who enjoys both the analytical and creative side of things, I can identify with this quote. It feels like the best of both worlds. Why do some people assume you need to be one or the other? As someone who loves numbers but loves art, this is true. As someone who is critical, analytical (sometimes over), and quantitative, I find great joy in the complexities in the metaphorical, abstract behaviour of creativity. It’s inspiring to see the presentation of the human brain dancing to its own beat with the ordered and systematic nuances structuring its every move behind it nonetheless, I believe everyone who is creative is intelligent, and everyone who is intelligent has the opportunity to be creative. The brain is a vastly complex place, with an abundance of capabilities. Who are we to limit what it can do?
Some take part in the right-brained, left-brained debate. Some say you can only be analytical and mathematical, or spontaneous and imaginative. Some say you can lean more to one side with a little of the other. Why not embrace both if you can? Why choose? Why can’t I analyse a set of data and then present them in an appealing infographic that captures attention with its color balance, contrast and design elements? Why can’t I splatter paint on a canvas, and yet examine the dimensions and measurements of the spacing between the colors and the borders? I believe there is no reason. Be brilliant. Be analytical. Be bold. Be creative. Be experimental. Be organized. Be careless. Be meaningful. Be meaningless. But whatever you do, just let your creativity and intelligence, be. You are intelligent. You are creative. Let your brain dance.
