      There has been some research done around this, and although findings can be mixed, some studies have actually found that people in creative industries that score higher on certain (sometimes contradictory personality traits – such as extroversion, introversion) have a slightly higher chance than others to be predisposed to psychosis. But there are always arguments for and against using personality types and traits to predict this.
