Once the first Star Wars movies had been filmed, George Lucas seems to have been at a pinnacle of his career. He seems well-adjusted and can look back and see what successes he created. This interview is after the release of his first movie and is about how he got started. Initially it was a low budget film and he had difficulties, but I believe that today he fits well into Rank's creative type.

Jung's Psychological Type:
A person would draw from the experiences of human consciousness. The depictions of Homer in this montage demonstrate and mirror possible life experiences that some people may encounter.

Jung's Visionary Type & Primordial Archetypes:
Sidney Sheldon, the creator of the television series "I Dream of Jeannie", may represent Jung's visionary type. The series was aired originally on NBC in response to the successful series "Bewitched" on ABC. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_dream_of_jeannie) Perhaps the Bewitched series gave Sheldon the enlightenment he needed to waken the primordial archetype that previously was dormant in his brain.

Torrance's Creative Type:
Lucille Ball in the show I Love Lucy uses the creative process as described by Torrance in many episodes. He says that it should be a "natural process" and although most of her endeavors end in hysterical disaster, in many episodes you can see the steps: finding a problem, forming ideas, testing the ideas, and communicating results with other characters of the show.

The Creative Press:
The Show "Fringe" is about a special division of the FBI known as Fringe; this department specializes in unusual science and unexplained happenings in the world. Olivia Dunham and her team are given liberties to investigate crime scenes and explore evidence further in Walter Bishop's lab. This environment allows freedom to explore creatively and determine all possibilities to answer questions that arise in relation to the current situation.

Art:
"I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us."
- Ansel Adams
This artist's photography many times inspires me to look at nature in different ways and to always appreciate the beauty of the world I live in.

Music:
I have heard some say that Michael Jackson is like a modern day Mozart because of the number of pieces he wrote including the work (of both) that was never released. Michael Jackson dictated his music into a recorder instead of writing it down, so this mirrors the speed that Mozart and Beethoven put their music into production.

Science:
Adam Savage, a co-host of Discovery Channel's program "Myth Busters", has spent his life gathering knowledge and skills to create the things he reads about. On his show, he and the crew of Myth Busters prove or disprove theories submitted by performing experiments on camera. They always seem excited to hypothesize and make their own discoveries.

Jamie Hyneman, also a co-host on "Myth Busters" , in addition to performing experiments on TV, he owns a company called M5 Industries Inc. Within his personal business, he creates and explores technologies "ranging from defense to green vehicle design".

Literature:
The author of the Harry Potter series is extremely creative indeed! I find the questions asked in this interview very interesting. I also like that she says (toward the end of this clip) that she has intentions of continuing to write, not necessarily about Harry Potter, but she cannot imagine herself ever not writing.
