Emotional Giftedness

Davis discusses the concept of paranormal beliefs in chapter five.

These include:
  • psychic
  • creative
  • psychotic
  • ESP
  • flying saucers
  • ghosts
"Creative persons tend to be stronger believers in such psychical and mysterious matters as extrasensory perception (ESP), mental telepathy, precognition, astral projection (out of body experience), flying saucers, and spirits and ghosts.
Such beliefs may reflect the creative person's livelier imagination and openness to fantastic possibilities.
Extremely intelligent people may experience emotional giftedness, which includes-among many other characteristics-paranormal thinking."
