    #1: Dr. Land’s NASA Study 98% of children start as creative geniuses, but only 2% keep that spark into adulthood

    "Children are creative geniuses!" confirms the study where Dr. Land and Dr. Jarman tested a diverse group of 1,600 American children, starting when they were 4-5 years old. The study lasted for ten years, and these are the Imaginative Thinking NASA Test Results: 4-5 years old: 98% of preschoolers scored at genius level 10 years old: 30% scored creative geniuses 15 years old: only 12 % scored creative geniuses adults: less than 2 % scored as creative geniuses This study has shown that we are all born divergent creative thinkers.
