Many successful creative people have the same personality trait in common: they are open to new experiences.
Psychologist Art Markman defines "openness to experience" as "the degree to which a person is willing to consider new ideas and opportunities." This runs along a spectrum: on one end, you have people who love novelty and dig the idea of doing new things and entertaining new ideas; on the other, there are those who like to stay with familiar ideas and tried-and-true activities.
