The 3 C’s. What Kind of Person Are You?

Since leaving SXSW I’ve realized that there might only be three types of people in the world: a creative, a creator and a combination. Think of new media and social media start ups none were founded by one person.  Companies have a tandem or team of people, a mixture of creative’s and creators, helping to reach a goal of fruition.

Creative

These are the folks that continuously pour out ideas. Their brains are incubators for what will be the next big thing. Whether onto napkins in restaurants, in a word document or to telling their friends over coffee, they always have ideas. Some stupid and some genius.

These are the folks that come up with the concepts or purposes for tangible and intangible things. Not to say these kinds of people can’t develop or build their own idea, but this is where root ideas and concepts are born.

Creator

Here are the people that take your ideas concept to reality. It could be a web dev

eloper if you have an idea for an online community. Maybe even someone who understands how to start a small business. It could even be someone who is great with strategy and planning. These are the people who can take your idea and put it in the right path to create a real product or community. These creators also help grow an idea into something bigger and better or smaller and more niche.

Combination

This could easily be a blessing and a curse. They can dream up crazy ideas and bring them to being. They can also help innovate or build on a current product or existing idea. One can make amazing things happen but could easily be overwhelmed with too many on going projects.They have the creative spark and organized mind to make great things happens.

There is nothing wrong with being one of these. As well as transcending from one person to another while mixing attributes, which would make you a combination.

A group of people with a mixture of types is probably best. It helps to bounce ideas off of one another to create something that is #awesomesauce.

What kind are you? What kind do you want to be?
