Confirmed by NASA: Born Geniuses, and the System Formats and Dulls

In a sensational interview with TEDxTuscon, Dr. George Land told the audience the shocking results about creativity tests that he and his team were developing as part of a special NASA project. The task of the team of psychologists was to develop a test that would assess and measure the creative potential of preschoolers.

The resulting result shocked not only the customers at NASA, but also the psychologists themselves.

In general terms, the test offered children various tasks that they understood, proposing to solve them in one way or another. The test was conducted on 1,600 children aged 4 to 5 years.

Scientists were prepared for a lot, but what they found puzzled them. It turned out that 98% of children fell into the top category of the test, considered by psychologists as “genius”!

Since “98 percent” of geniuses seemed like an unthinkable figure to NASA, the test was rejected as incorrect. However, the developers did not give up and conducted the same test on the same children, but already when the children reached the age of 10 years. This time only 30% of children fell into the category of “genius imagination”.

The result was so strange that NASA again became interested and conducted the same test on the same children, but already at the age of 15. Less than 12% of them were geniuses!

For the next 5 years, NASA did not wait and slightly violated the purity of the experiment, putting the test on a random sample of adults. Among adults, the percentage of genius dropped to 2!

Based on these data, Gavin Nascimento made a detailed scientific publication, the essence of which boils down to the following:

So what should we all do now? Can we restore our creativity?

Dr. George Land says that despite the blockages in consciousness, we continue to be that brilliant 98 percent throughout our lives. The main thing is to understand how this suppressive system works and how to get around it.

George Land explains that each of us has two types of thinking: divergent and convergent, that is, divergent and convergent. Divergent thinking is what we have from birth and call imagination. Convergent thinking is also a part of us, working in another part of the brain and limiting divergence. Thus, divergent thinking works as an accelerator of processes with the brain, while convergent thinking inhibits this process. This is fine.

But if you take control of convergent thinking, if you stuff it with some kind of “paradigms” and “dogmas”, it starts to slow down everything in general:

This is how it looks on the outside. On the internal, morphological plane, everything is much more interesting. There, your own neurons fight friend against friend! Think about it: YOUR OWN nerve cells, stuffed with ANOTHER dogmatic rubbish, criticize and censor, lowering the frequency and power of your brain! And if you add religious fear to convergence, then the brain will either fall into a stupor, or even burn out.

What solution can there be in this situation?

The solution is very simple. Try again to find in your mind a five-year-old child who has just begun to learn about the world and let him, like a ball held in water, emerge to the surface.

This child is in you, he has always been, he is nowhere and never leaves. It's very easy to start looking for it.

Look at the room around you and think about how you can significantly change and improve a simple chair leg. then and where can you improve more? And don't stop, find the courage to challenge the system!
