In the late 1940’s, a group of psychologists were discussing the lack of creativity in most adults. They speculated that by the age of 45, there was only a minute percentage of the population who could think creatively. To prove that assumption they designed a creativity test and gave it to a group of 45 years old. Less that 5 percent of them were judged creative by the test.
They continued testing by reducing the age of the subjects. They tested at ages 40, 35, 30, 25, and 20 years old. The 5 percent creativity figure stayed basically the same for all these groups. Finally at 17 years old the percentage of creative individuals rose to 10 percent. At the age of 5, it sky rocketed to over 90 percent!
The conclusion ? Almost everyone is highly creative at age five.

Et qu’est-ce qui fait qu’on perd ce potebtiel de créativité ? L’école ? Ou est-ce le développement cérébral qui fait ça ?
