Well, I did the inkblot test, and I'd have to say it seemed what I have trouble with. I feel like a creative person, but I don't know (or haven't explored properly) how to express my creativity. I feel like I have a creative nature, but I don't feel like I can create anything original. I can visualize things in the vaguest sense of the term.. but don't know how to translate that into physical reality. It's one of the things that bugs me a lot. I play piano pieces composed by other people, but can't write my own material. I can duplicate a photo when drawing, but can't create originals. I have ideas and no expression. I feel like an artistic mute - plenty to say, but no way to say it. As for the rest of the comments, I'm not so sure about inspiring others. Oh well. It's an interesting test.
Jeri, your unconscious mind is driven most by Imagination
This means you have a deep desire to use innovative ideas to enhance your life and influence the world around you. This drive influences you far more than you may realize on a conscious level.
Your need to be innovative drives how you look at new opportunities and the kinds of experiences in life you choose to have. On an unconscious level, the reason you may be so driven by imagination is your fear of destruction, the opposite of creation. When you are unable to create due to restrictions imposed by your environment or even ones you unwittingly impose on yourself, do you feel trapped or confined? You may find these feelings of unease only get better when you find another outlet for your imagination.
With such a strong creative orientation, you are willing to entertain a broad spectrum of ideas at any given time. The world is a fuller, richer place because you can contribute new ideas to any experience. Your natural curiosity inspires those around you and encourages them to come up with ideas they wouldn't have thought of without your help.
Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Imagination, there is much more to who you are at your core.
