Are the traits of creativity, flexibility and communication important in an effective psychologist?

Question

I have a uni assignment for my academic literacies class, asking me to write about whether or not the attributes of creativity, flexiblity and communication are important in my chosen field - psychology. Just looking for an outside opinion, and new thoughts on the question.

Answer 1

Yes, those attributes are essential, especially good communication.

Since psychologists are working directly with the thought processes in the brain, they need to successfully interpret what the client says and also conclude what the client means.  

And, the psychologist must have the necessary expertise to communicate his conclusions to the client in a manner which is understandable and logical.
