Unlike ordinary people, creative people enjoy solitude

Many people hate being alone. As soon as they are alone, they escape from this situation and put themselves in another situation. Now, scientists have announced in a study that people with creative minds not only don’t hate being alone, they enjoy it.

According to Tekna technology news service, psychologists from the University of Arizona, Kansas, and Arkansas conducted studies on more than 2,000 volunteers. They completed questionnaires to find out how people pursue creativity when they are idle. People with divergent thinking will perform better when alone and will feel less bored at this time.

By using this study, people can be helped to appreciate and use the created opportunity more than before. Jessica Andrews-Hannah, a cognitive neuroscientist, says in this regard: Knowing how people think when they are unemployed can lead to increased health and improved people’s condition. He continues: Currently, it is very difficult to be alone with your thoughts. In this study, 90 volunteers were asked to be alone for ten minutes without using digital devices. In order to investigate divergent thinking, these people had to answer questions such as “How is it possible to make money from a hundred plastic straps?” Creative people came up with more suitable ideas.
