This is average people in a statistically (hopefully) relevant study.... average people are not creatives. Average people get locked into world views and ideology as they become adults. Average people don't take creative jobs.
Creative people-- that would be an interesting group to study.
As an older engineer, I'm not less creative. I'm slower at writing code, but I need to write a lot less code. In the end I execute at the same speed or faster than younger engineers (Who often seem to take off writing code before they've thought thru the problem and end up shooting themselves in the foot more often than coming up with an idea I hadn't considered. Not that there's anything wrong with them on the balance, just not a slam dunk that younger programmers are more productive.)
I don't see this declining with aging, though my patience with people who can't respond to logic and facts is declining rapidly.

- madengr 9y agoYep, I tolerate less and less BS either. Probably cost me my job someday.
- paulcole 9y ago>Average people don't take creative jobs. Hi! Average person with a creative job here. I'm good at my work (writing) but am otherwise not creative at all. I do it for money, stop thinking about it at 5PM, and that's it. I come home, watch TV, and exercise. I have no interest in creativity except that people will pay me for it.

- coldtea 9y ago>average people are not creatives You'd be surprised. Creative people -- writers, painters, musicians, etc, can be some of the most boring and/or average people in all other aspects of life that you've met.
