Four Ps and Mysterious Mental Happenings

Rank’s creative type: Jimmy Neutron - well-adjusted, self-actualized, strong, positive personality. Spontaneous expression of creativity. Jimmy is a young scientist that spearheads one of my most favorite shows. He's witty, funny, ingenious, and seems to have this love-hate relationship with his equally smart counterpart, Cindy. 

• Jung’ s psychological type of creative person: Eminem - draw from lessons of life, emotional shocks, and experiences of passion and human crisses.  All you have to do is to listen to one of his songs to know that he speaks from the heart of a person with a difficult past.  His material is understandable and often feels that he needs to explain himself to his beloved daughter, Hailey.

• Jung’s visionary type and primordial archetypes: creators of Saw IV - People often respond astonished, confused, disgusted...horrified! Reminds us of fears, nightmares, and dark thoughts. I've seen 1 (and a half) of the movies in the "Saw" series, and the first thing that came to mind was how scary it is that someone actually thought of this idea! Have you seen any of these movies??? Absolutely SICK! AAAAHHHHHHH!

• Torrance’s creative type: Johhny Test  - each episode is based on  Johnny, a young boy with genius older sisters, parents with superhuman powers, a talking dog named Dukey, and access to a lab, finding solutions that present themselves in each episode.  These problems often involve other people that he is trying to outwit and he usually  enlists the expertise of his older sisters to assist.  His solutions/inventions are often creative and smart but usually backfire.

• The creative press: www.teachertube.com  - original, creative, meets a need, has social value, ingenious. Jason Smith, the creator of teachertube.com, offers an educational alternative to online videos and resources for teachers and students alike. It offers easy access to upload and view educational video from around the world.

  1. LOL!! It's so funny to me to see teachertube, Roald Dahl, Eminim, and the creators of Saw on ANY list. And for the record, the Saw preview scares the life out of me, so I have not seen any of the movies. You've clearly chosen those creative types which are meaningful for you and provide you that visual connection. Well done!
