Should Persons Undergo Testing to Become Parents?
Many persons become parents without being prepared to handle the responsibility and dedication required for raising a child. For centuries, persons became parents without being fully prepared, but as of recent times, the number of persons has increased drastically.
Very young persons, who are not suitable for raising a child, are also becoming parents. An insufficiently prepared parent is very detrimental to their child, society and themselves. For these reasons, I believe that persons should undergo testing to become parents.
There is no doubt that much responsibility comes with being a parent. A parent must also be diligent, mature, and dedicated. If a person lacks these attributes and becomes a parent, then both the child and them will suffer. If they are not responsible and mature enough as an individual or if they lack specific moral values, they can get themselves into trouble, whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling, debts, and a series of crimes. Imagine if this person were then to become a parent; they will not be able to carry out simple tasks to take care of their child and will get easily overwhelmed by of all the responsibility required.
As a result, their child will be neglected, may feel unwanted, will not be brought up with morals, and will usually take after their parent as they did not have a good role model to idolize. The child, having not grown up in a proper environment, now contributes to the number of persons in society who lack basic morals, maturity, and responsibility, which then leads to an increase in crime. Testing can help reduce the number of persons that do not have the attributes required to raise a child in a proper environment from becoming parents, which will benefit the people and society involved.
A Case Study in the Creative Personality
Boredom can be good for creativity if you do it right. The upside of a restless mind is the fertile ground for creative exploration. Sagmeister and Walsh embody a personality trait that psychologists have found to be at the very heart of creativity: openness to experience. Psychologists say that openness is the strongest and most consistent personality trait that predicts creative achievement in the arts and sciences.
Free creative exploration gives them a constant source of inspiration for new projects, while having their hand in multiple different kinds of creative projects at the same time helps ward off creative blocks, according to Sagmeister. “I like to work on a good number of projects simultaneously,” he says. “I get stuck with one I can switch over to another,” he says. A key to keeping things fresh, for both designers, is allowing themselves time. Time off. Time to experiment. Time to fail. Time to play. Time to dream.
A Dreamer Build a Design Empire
The differences have been just as critical to their partnership as their similarities. Walsh, who tested as a Dreamer type on Adobe’s Creative Types creative personality test, is the perfect creative counterpart to Sagmeister, a Visionary. Walsh is the prototypical Dreamer type: imaginative, sensitive, intuitive and insightful. As a child, she was content to spend hours alone doing arts and crafts, making sculptures out of Play-Doh and working with beads.

As a Visionary type, Sagmeister is charismatic, full of ideas, and relentlessly driven to make the world a better, and more beautiful, place. While they shared a love of beauty and a desire to change the way people see the world, their divergent personal backgrounds and personality types allowed them.
