Some thoughts about the humanistic theory of personality /part 6/

According to Maslow, the need for security particularly fits into the process of character formation, as satisfying it or does not lead to the formation of different traits. Linking the question of character formation with theses to meet the needs gives Maslow the opportunity to point to a personality typology approach. This principle of classification Maslow defines as holistic, ie. complete. He also works on the issue of the essence of human creativity and creative thinking. In his view, creativity is closely tied to the study of thinking and manifestations of the personality.

Maslow admits that he has both creative and non-creative thinking. Creative thinking people have an inherent holistic type of thinking. He thinks thinking is where problems lie in the center rather than the ego. For Maslow, creativity is not just a characteristic of thinking but a more general manifestation of the human organism. According to him there are two creative phases: the inspiration and development, in which the second person loses his past and future and lives only at the present moment. In his view, creativity is a problem of creative personality, not the productions of creativity, creative behavior, and so on

. According to Maslow, there are two factors of creativity: external - social background, and inner - consciousness, or more precisely self - consciousness. Creativity, the pursuit of creativity, is an essential part of the natural self-realization of man. Based on Maslow's theory of self-actualization, the "Self-actualization scale: a personal growth stint" was created, with 150 articles pertaining to value preferences, as well as the actions. It is used in clinical practice, as well as in prognostic studies in psychology. Maslow's research is the need for security to find a practical expression in the test methodology to diagnose the level of self-actualization: security - uncertainty, used today in many experimental developments.

Maslow's humanistic psychological theory finds its application in many areas of practice, close to psychology, education, psychology of work, management, and business. By the end of his life, Maslow has sought to apply theory to practice. His views are also expressed in his understanding of a new psychological science whose methodology has been substantially renewed and humanized.
