Creative characteristics

A flavor differential item is an additive or combination of additives that when smelled or tasted has Httle, if any, character reminiscent of the named flavor. It gives roundness and fixation to the flavor. It may be added by the flavor chemist to confuse simulation of the flavor, and it is neither characteristic of, nor essential to, the intended flavor. The greatest examples of creativity are found in this area. 

The purpose of looking at creativity from the point of view of processes and action has been to show that it is not an arcane art. Any manager can do the things needed to create and develop ideas. However, it may help to cultivate certain chau-acteristlcs. Box 4.3 lists characteristics of the creative person that have been identified by Majaro. Majaro points out that these characteristics centre around tiie traditional elements of training and education knowledge, skills and attitudes - all amenable to development rather than innate. 

It seems to me that the eventual outcome will be the construction of psychedelic parks. In general, these will feature a large center for therapeutic, creative, and other uses, supervised by medical men and guides, and a psychedelic chapel for religious and mystical experience. The most likely setting will probably be a park of artificial environments. The dimensions of the park need not be very great, since space counts for little in the experience. A point of some importance, however, is the matter of diversity, for one of the major characteristics of these experiences, after all, is flux. 

The literature on creativity includes analytical description of the components of creative experience, the personal characteristics of creative individuals, and the distinguishing features of creative solutions. From the participants reports, it was possible to extract eleven strategies of enhanced functioning during the session. The relationship of these strategies to enhanced functioning should be self-explanatory. Those readers interested in the relationship of these aspects to current research and theory on creativity can refer to the detailed technical discussion in Harman, McKim et al. (1966). 

Viewing the relationship between culture and psychopathology within an evolutionary framework, Hammer and Zubin (1966) also suggest some possible culturally adaptive functions of schizophrenia. They point out that the characteristics of the mentally ill occur in most people, and symptoms such as anxiety, guilt, shame, and depression are often harnessed to socially useful purposes. Similarly, Bowers and Freedman (1966) and Ludwig (1966) emphasize the healing function of schizophrenic states and consider them a major avenue of new knowledge and creative experience. 

A large body of work has been developed by DeSimone and co-workers on the solubility of fluorinated polymers, especially polyfl,l-dihydroper-fluorooctylacrylate) fPFOA), in C02 (Hsiao et al., 1995 Luna-Barcenas et al., 1998). An excellent example of utilizing creative chemistry to design a C02-soluble polymer, PFOA is one of the very few fluoropolymers that dissolves in C02 at modest temperatures and pressures less than 300 bar. The characteristics needed to make a fluoropolymer soluble in C02 can be ascertained from Figure 7.2, which shows the difference in cloud-point curves for polyfvinylidene fluoride) (PDVF), a statistically random copoly-... 

The use of surface tools need not be limited only to thin layers or small dimension corrosion. Creative application of surface methods to larger scale corrosion products, more characteristic of industrial problems, has provided useful information not previously available. More sophisticated uses of surface methods that are being developed and tested continually will provide even more information for corrosion research. 

The appealing optical properties of QDs make these semiconductor nanocrystals very attractive for a wide variety of applications. In the field of (bio)chemical analysis, the ability to tune the QDs optical properties and to tailor the chemical and biological characteristics of their surfaces are enabling a growing number of creative analytical strategies. 

Therefore an effective Manager of a creative group typically demonstrates the following characteristics ... 

Other studies have given support to these managerial characteristics and further emphasised that creativity amongst scientific personnel is more likely in teams where there is a favourable relationship with the Manager [A-16]. This is important in producing the very valuable, non-material benefits that are fisted below. 

The same studies indicate that it makes sense to appoint charismatic people rather than technical superstars to lead creative teams. Technical expertise is important in R D Managers but not as essential as being able to inspire, motivate and energise research staff. Charismatic leaders demonstrate the following characteristics.
