I dare not say that there are people in this world who are solely creative or technical as people. Meaning, everyone has a bit of both within. Creativity is what makes us humans special in contrast to other animals. However, along the course of a person's life (and yes, some do fluctuate or change) people are dominantly one or the other.

A technical outlook (in the way I am describing the term) tends to be more rigid. You see what is in front of you and often won't be open to ideas of the unknown. Chances are, the belief is what you see is what you get. A creative outlook is far more abstract. Creative people are open to the unknown and in fact pull power from the unknown; that is, in fact, the essence of creativity. When there are no options left, you create one. Creative people also tend to see life in a different manner. They tend to see beyond the visible world and imagine the possibilities beyond, whereas predominantly technical people, again, see the world only as what's in front of them.

Which is better? Which has the potential to further the timeline of the human race? I would say the answer hides within artwork. Like the people that draw such things, there are both technical artists and creative. However, the masterpieces I have seen are those that incorporate both worlds into one.
