I’m a big advocate of human typology assessments (e.g Enneagram etc) to ascertain / baseline a profile of an individual or team of people. This usually unearths a multitude of information and is a powerful tool for understanding their motivations and behaviours, as well as the motivations and behaviours of others, which can lead to more harmonious relationships, better communication, and more effective problem-solving and creativity.

Different ways to get started are: 1. Review portfolio - look for recurring themes, techniques and anesthetics choices. 2. Identify patterns - tendencies in the work of individual's or group's. 3. Evaluate originality- look for ways in which they bring fresh perspectives, unconventional ideas, or unique interpretations. 4. Review process - gain an understanding of a person's creative process. 5. Reflect on intentions- objectives behind their choices. I consider all these as important aspects.

Different approaches can be like: 1. Find an appropriate time to ask - choose right moment to request feedback from others 2. Test yourself - evaluate your skills, abilities, and personality characteristics by seeking opportunities for scrutiny. 3. Reflective best self exercise - engaging in a reflective self exercise by asking people from different areas of your life for their opinions on your strengths and weaknesses. More can be added in the above mentioned list.

Identifying creative strengths and weaknesses involves self-reflection, feedback from peers, and experimentation. Reflect on past successes and areas where you excel creatively, noting patterns and preferences. Seek input from others to gain diverse perspectives on your strengths and areas for improvement. Experiment with different creative processes, techniques, and mediums to uncover what resonates most and where you may encounter challenges. By embracing self-awareness and actively seeking feedback, you can better understand your creative strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to leverage them effectively in your endeavors.

To recognize your creative strengths and weaknesses, reflect on instances where you demonstrated strong creativity or encountered challenges. Gather feedback from peers or mentors regarding your creative skills and areas needing improvement. Participate in activities that push your creative boundaries to gain insight into your strengths and areas for growth. By combining self-assessment, feedback, and hands-on experience, you can better understand your creative capabilities. #ahmedalaali11

Identifying your creative strengths is like finding the right key out of multiple keys for your lock. Of course, you will have to try all the keys you have and you will never know which one would instantly fit in. Similarly, don't try to force yourself to find your strength, it's a matter of process. You might find it very soon or maybe after a series of experiments. What matters is the pathway you walked through to reach your strength and then worshipping it.
