Discover Your
Creative Genius

Your gifts are real. We understand the agony of untapped potential.
You are more creative than you know. But you may not believe that about yourself.
Somewhere along the way in a classroom, a boardroom, or a culture that defined creativity as painting and poetry, you got a message: that's not you.
So you stopped raising your hand. You stopped calling yourself creative. And you started doing your work from a place of quiet resignation instead of unleashed potential.
The problem isn't that you lack creativity. The problem is that you've never had a framework that showed you exactly how your creativity works.
But wait, I'm not creative.
We know. That's exactly what you've been told.
At some point your creativity got hijacked. It got reduced to paintbrushes and art, to the person in the turtleneck with the sketchbook. And if that wasn't you, you quietly concluded: creativity is for other people.
The Hodges 12 closes the gap between who you are today and who you were always meant to be by identifying your top three creative strengths and giving you a map to reach your full potential.
Here's the definition that changes everything:
Creativity is the intentional process of generating novel and useful ideas to solve complex problems.
That's it. Creativity is not just art or aesthetics. Creativity is not a talent you're born with or a personality type you either have or don't have.
Creativity is problem-solving, and you have been doing it your entire life. You just never had anyone call it what it actually is.

Think about what that costs you every day
You show up to work and do your job with competence, reliability, and professionalism.
But there's a nagging feeling that you're operating at about 60% of your full potential. You watch others get recognized for their ideas while yours stay locked inside you. You sit in meetings and wonder if what you bring to the table even matters. You've built a career, maybe even a good one, but something feels missing. Not in a dramatic way. Just in a quiet, persistent I know there's more than this kind of way.
You're not burned out. You're underutilized. And deep down, you know it.
The most painful professional experience isn't failure, it's the suffocating feeling that your greatest gifts are completely unseen.
The Hodges 12 Types of Creative Genius™ was built to solve exactly that.
When you discover your creative genius, you stop playing small and start solving problems no one else can solve to unlock innovation only you can deliver.
Developed from doctoral research and validated with hundreds of professionals around the world, The Hodges 12 identifies the twelve distinct ways people solve problems and reveals which three are your natural superpowers.
In just a few minutes, The Hodges 12 assessment gives you that language. You'll discover your Creative Genius Trifecta, your top three types, along with rich, detailed profiles that explain how you naturally approach challenges, what energizes you, where you thrive, and how to develop your gift even further.
Three domains. Twelve types. One framework that finally puts words to what you've always known was inside you.
Here’s What Hangs in the Balance
If you don't: You'll keep doing work that pays the bills but doesn't light you up. You'll keep wondering why certain roles feel like a mismatch. You'll keep contributing less than you're capable of because no one, including you, has ever named your creative genius out loud. And that quiet resignation compounds. It becomes the story you tell yourself about who you are.
If you do: You'll walk into rooms differently. You'll articulate your value with confidence instead of fumbling for words. You'll understand why certain work energizes you and stop apologizing for the work that doesn't.
You'll lead better, collaborate better, and contribute in ways that are unmistakably, irreplaceably you.
Imagine This!
Imagine waking up Monday morning and actually looking forward to work, not because everything is perfect, but because you finally understand the creative gifts you bring to your work.
Imagine being able to tell your team, your boss, or a potential employer exactly how you solve problems, and having the language to back it up. Imagine the relief of knowing that you were never not creative. You were simply waiting for your creativity to be discovered.
That’s what The Hodges 12 does. It shows you who you’ve always been so you can show up intentionally, do meaningful work, and feel fully alive.

How Is The Hodges 12 Different?
You've probably taken personality assessments before. Maybe you know you're an INTJ, an Enneagram Three, or high in Strategic. Those tools are valuable, but they weren't built to answer this question: What is your creative problem-solving style?
Most assessments tell you who you are or what you're good at. The Hodges 12 tells you how you approach challenges.
When you take the assessment, you'll discover:
- Your creative superpowers
- What energizes you and what drains you
- Your blind spots and stress patterns
- Roles where you'll thrive vs. environments where you'll struggle
- How to develop your gift
- Famous people who share your type
- How to boost your creative breakthroughs
ASSESSMENT
WHAT IT MEASURES
Enneagram: Your core motivations and fears
Myers-Briggs: How you perceive and process information
CliftonStrengths: Your natural talents
DISC: Your behavioral style at work
Predictive Index: Your workplace drives and job fit
The Hodges 12: A personality index measuring how you are naturally wired to solve problems through creativity and imagination.
Unlike other personality assessments that give you a label (or put you in a box) and leave you there, your Creative Genius Trifecta is dynamic and fluid. You can grow your creative range. You can develop new strengths based on what you focus on, what you practice, and what this season of your life is asking of you.
And The Hodges 12 for Teams provides a shared language for innovation so you can understand the different creative strengths each person brings and solve complex problems together.
