KYKO detects a creative person by the scores of the three dimensions.
- Complexity dimension is defined as the need for information, influence, and change, adapt, persuade and use others for survival and to satisfy dominant needs. A high complexity person has a satellite vision in view of constantly scanning information in the environment. He can see many ways of doing things which helps him to general numerous strategies. A high complexity individual can see opportunities in the environment and turn them into reality. He is perceptive, analytical and can size up a person, influence and use him or her to make thing happen.
- Self- Actualizing dimension defines as the need for achievement, growth, and fulfillment and to find meanings in life. A high self-actualizing individual is intellectually inclined and has good logical skills. He can choose the best strategy that is practical and feasible from his many alternatives.
- Low security dimension defines as the low need for safety, order, system, structure and protection. A low self security individual is willing to take high risk and experiment with ideas, concepts, processes and things.
A creative person must be a high manipulative-self-actualizing with a low security personality.
Individuals who are docile and not creative scores low in the complexity dimension. They are straightforward, naïve and are comfortable with a fixed established way of doing things.
Individuals who are low self-actualizing are irrational and have poor thinking skills resulting in their lack of ability to make good decision.
Individuals who score high in the security dimension prefer to maintain the status quo. They are happy to remain in their comfortable zone and are uncomfortable with innovations and changes. They are low risk takers and would not venture into experimenting with things, ideas, concepts and processes.
Hence a low complexity-self-actualizing with high security individual is not creative.
