The inventive cannot be taught, although it can be learned,
breaking the routine life, that is, breaking with always doing the
same, or perhaps, simply, doing more of the same. That means
that the same individual who is looking for the imagination (or
the creative idea) is the one who must dive into his own mind
and work on himself to develop his own thinking and
personality skills.
The blockages in principle, can be due to several circumstances:
The creator of the Creative
Blocks Development strategy
is the American - Alvin L.
Simberg. Human beings have a
high degree of need to
socialize, which influences
their behavior, to the degree
that the majority, all they
want is to play their role as
social subjects. In order to
integrate into society, with the
necessary activities, a way of
orienting oneself is essential,
accepting what is good and
what is bad.
In his learning stage the
person will stick to
stereotypes, to solve their
biological and social needs,
assuming certain patterns and
models of behavior, which
serve as a guideline to meet
those needs and orient
themselves in the social
environment. Normally, the
individual should not look for
anything outside those
patterns and much less create
new ones, if he does not want
to be rejected. Thus, the
individual provided with these
rules, norms and models of
social interaction becomes a
social personality, subject to
all activities at the level of
civilization of his society,
which shape his personality.
A very deep specialization.
Extreme rationalism.
Shallow focus
Lack of trust.
Reduced motivation
Poor ability to listen.
Excessive respect for the authority.
Spirit not critical, not observant.
They can be of different nature:
Emotional blockages: In general fear
of making a fool of ourselves, or of
making mistakes, and it is related to
a negative personal self-criticism.
Perceptual blocks: When we
perceive the world around us, we
see it with a limited and reduced
perspective, not being able to
observe what others, creatives, see
clearly.
Cultural blockages: Social norms
train us to see and think in a certain
way, which gives us a narrow vision.
