Or even further, have you thought about your own creative style and inner muse? There are so many different types of artists and creativity. Some might call them Creative Archetypes, but we’ll call them your Creative Spirit.

4. The Alchemist: Do you see connections where others see chaos? Salvador Dali didn’t just paint clocks; he melted them in surreal landscapes. The Alchemist is a maestro of transformation, constantly blending, mixing, and creating the unimaginable. Indian musician Ravi Shankar, filmmaker George Lucas and designer Coco Chanel too, were Alchemists in their own right, challenging norms and perceptions.
