Are we born Creative Geniuses? In the late 1960's Dr. George Land conducted a research study to test the creativity of 1600 children. It was the same test he created and gave to NASA to help select innovative engineers.
The test was to look at a problem and come up with new, different, innovative ideas
The results were astounding and showed that 98% of children 5 years of age and younger tested at the genius level.
Sadly as the same children were tested again later in life, the percentages fell dramatically. When he gave the same test to 31-year-olds, only 2% passed the test.
So what happens? Why do we lose this extremely important strength as we age and is there anything we can do about it to recover this lost secret power?
We discuss that and more.
We hope you enjoy the episode.
