Abstract	In this monograph, the author presents a thesis that a genuine, pervasive innocence of perception underlies mature productive originality, and that it is based upon progression from the sense of awe and wonder and the natural spontaneity of childhood into integrated adult functioning with fine command of ways and means acquired through discipline and technique. An overview of major findings resulting from previous researchers at the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research on highly creative persons serve as the base for theory. In a study of creative architects, findings show that for certain activities a specific minimum I.Q. is probably necessary to engage in the activity, but that beyond the minimum, creativity is uncorrelated with I.Q. Moreover, other research findings suggest that it is a function of style or modes of experiencing that mark the highly creative person. Three stylistic variables of highly creative persons are that they are more perceptually oriented, intuitive, and are able to discern and to prefer more complexity in whatever it is that they attend to. To conclude, "In the creative adult, the child remains fully alive." (Author/SJM)
