Good post Val. But isn't the real definition of your thoughtfulness and creativity just "in the box" and "out of the box"?

No matter how high your IQ, it doesn't mean you can think out of the box. And that is what defined the great. Feyman put O-rings in a glass of ice water. How hard a concept was that?

Someone posted the article about that 12 year old that questioned the Big Bang theory and he had his reasons. Now he did have a phenomenal IQ but he was also taking himself out of the box to come up with why it didn't work. No amount of acceleration or challenge is going to make a kid an out of the box thinker. It has to do with life experience and perspective.
