As a researcher of creative intelligence I have found childlike behavior indicates high somatic giftedness. It means the intelligence you create with your senses/ body is very high and it is difficult to condition you. Something our schools systems seek to do to all of us.
We are not educated somatically in our schools we are deprived. Yet you have managed to obtain a high somatic giftedness. This is a beautiful thing.
Geniuses are often described as childlike or mischievous. Savanta are as well. I believe they are one in the same.
They are those who maintain the unified intelligence we all are born with and then most are conditioned out of.
We should celebrate our child like ways. They are demonstrating our big picture intelligence.
Something that we will need to navigate the increasing change we face in our society, ecology and AI work place.
