Thoughts on Chapter 6 and 7

I like many other people have trouble tapping into my own talents and blazing down the avenue of creativity is pretty scary. I found chapter six to be interesting not only because of the seven types of intelligence but also because of the different personality types. One of which, the mad scientist syndrome, where Erdos with all of his mathematical brilliance, couldn't cook, drive or do many things that normal every day people can do. I also found the explanation about artists or creatives rather than procuring personal "mature relationships", and mostly living without sexual fulfillment, because they gain satisfaction through reaching others with their work, fascinating and a little sad. I have always wished I was a musician or artist, but honestly the more I read, I have to say that at this point I am sort of glad I have not tapped into any hidden creative talents. It seems very lonely and grueling to be constantly creating and just down right torturous. For the simple reason of constantly wearing your heart on your sleeve and having to constantly display your emotion.
