The designing Mind - Datamation 1985. Still relevant today.

Abstract: Imagination is the key ingredient that makes systems designers
successful. A designer must juggle the ability to visualize pictures, changing focal
points until the image is suitable for the designer and the situation. It is this
balancing process, in which choices are evaluated, that will produce a distinctive
design. Two qualities that are important in a designer are the characteristics to
simplify a problem and to comprehend a problem from a user's point of view. The
interview process is one method to discover whether a designer has the
necessary characteristics. Rating an individual by past accomplishments can
provide an unclear picture since it not evident what part the person played in the
creative process. The interviewee's perception of past work is valuable and can
be obtained by asking what was the most grave mishap and what was the most
enjoyable project for which they were responsible.
