5 words or less

I was recently asked to describe myself in 5 words or less.

This was tough. Not because I do not know myself but because I want to choose the words that best describe me. Here are 4 for me, with definitions and synonyms.

Creative 1 : marked by the ability or power to create : given to creating 2 : having the quality of something created rather than imitated : IMAGINATIVE 3 : managed so as to get around legal or conventional limits ; also : deceptively arranged so as to conceal or defraud
Synonyms imaginative, ingenious, innovative, inventive, original Related Words gifted, inspired, talented; resourceful; fecund, fertile, fruitful, productive, prolific
Colourful 1 : having striking colors2 : full of variety or interest
Synonyms motley, multicolored, polychromatic, polychrome, varicolored, variegated Related Words brave, bright, brilliant, gay; flashy, garish, gaudy, loud, showy, splashy; deep, rich, unbleached; checkered, dotted, plaid, striped; colored, pigmented; dappled, shaded; marbled, mottled, piebald, pied, pinto; flecked, spotted, streaked; specked, speckled; banded, barred, brindled (or brindle)
Passionate 1 a : easily aroused to anger b : filled with anger : ANGRY2 a : capable of, affected by, or expressing intense feeling b : ENTHUSIASTIC, ARDENT3 : swayed by or affected with sexual desire

That's me. I think the 5th word changes from time to time if it is there at all.
