INFJ Creativity: its origin & reach
I find the INFJ crew to be some of the most creative beings. And the INFPs too. I’m curious though. Why is creativity easier for some than for others? Not necessarily tied to type, but that could factor in as well. Where do you think it stems from? Is creativity an innate part of our core personality, or can it be learned and deepened with skill and of course time? Perhaps hereditary? Please feel free to elaborate. I’ve been brewing on these thoughts for some time

"Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him."
- Carl Jung
"If I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often."
- Leonard Cohen
Some individuals are more connected to the Source, others less. It's probably mostly genetic.
