I remember being quite surprised when I hired ex military personnel, they were among the most creative and dynamic people I’d ever met. It makes sense of course that these people are hyper-creative. They need to visualise and change things if scenarios don’t go to plan. Who else has to do that in life or death scenarios. Even in their interviews they are dynamic in a way that is positive.
