Summary: Excellent book on creativity
Comment: Understanding Those Who Create by Jane Piirto. Dayton, OH: Ohio Psychology Press, 1992.
This is an excellent book for those who are interested in, yet new to the field of creativity. The author starts out by dealing with definitions and assessments of creativity and then goes on to present research about the characteristics of creative individuals within various fields such as visual artists, creative writers, creative scientists, mathematicians, musicians, and composers. This book is recommended for educators and parents.

Rating: 5

Comment: Dr. Piirto's book is fascinating. If you are an artist or a business person, this book is for you. Understand yourself and those you love. Find out why writers suffer from bipolar disorder and alcoholism. Discover the personality that propels Bill Gates and other business dynamos. Figure out where you fit in and why you do what you do.

Rating: 4
Summary: Fascinating, thorough, easy to read primer on creativity.
Comment: I had heard Dr. Piirto speak at conferences, and was delighted to get this second edition of her book. I was even more pleased to see that it had won the Parent's Guide Award. I often had wondered about tests for creativity, and whether our schools really nurtured it. This book is provocative in those areas, as well as regarding how creative adults in different occupational areas differ in personality and family background experiences. An excellent and fascinating book!
