Unusual Abilities of Some Creative Thinkers
Although each Creative Thinker is distinctly different in their mental capabilities, some of these abilities can be evidence of the intellectual and creative powers of a genius waiting to be unlocked. Imagine feeling that someone is behind you before you can see or hear them. Some Creative Thinkers have mental abilities that go well beyond this common phenomena and approach the supernatural. Examples include:
Controlling the perception of time, causing it to operate in slow motion or rapidly,
Doing complex math in their head quickly; but not knowing how they did it,
Seeing a solution from a mental examination of the components, such as projecting interest rates for investments, or creating a new computer chip,
Communicating telepathically with others, or
Controlling the outcome of events, like calling the correct numbers on dice before they are rolled.
Although not all Creative Thinkers possess these talents, extrasensory perceptions like these represent abilities that are uniquely valuable to some; but ludicrous to others who do not understand the learning and mental processing differences of making effective use of the right side of the brain by Creative Thinkers.
