On studying the creative process and the creative individual to understand creativity

In the psychology of creativity we have to understand two things -firstly the creative process and secondly the creative individual. 

1. The Creative Process - this includes the definitions of creativity and the mental processes involved in creativity.

2. The Creative Individual - this is about the personality traits of the creative individual, the attributes of genius and the peculiarities of the creative personality Psychological theories have tried to explain both the creative process and the creative individual.

Is there a well-defined creative personality? 

3. Non-conformity - The creative process itself is an act of non-conformity so creative individuals are non-conformists and unconventional.

4. Impulsiveness - Since the creative process is a sudden realization, the creative individual has a love for suddenness and loves to work on impulse. The creative process and creative individual naturally leads the discussion to anomalies in creativity.
