1. Talent, intelligence, an alert mind
Whatever you want to call it: a natural talent.
"Intelligence" refers to how efficient a human mind is without the psychologists knowing what exactly they are measuring. Perhaps neuroscience and computer science will bring more insight into how very smart people think.
2. Curiosity
3. Fantasy
As Albert Einstein said: “Fantasy is way more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited.”
What is fantasy: The ability to create a model of the world in one's own mind and to constantly generate new ideas.
