Is being freewheeling the same as individuating? Yes and no. Yes, in that the willingness to ignore conventions, rules and expected standards of behavior can lead to individual moral, artistic and intellectual displays of brilliance, heights never before reached, that benefit all humankind.
No, in that, though an individuator is a risk-taker and bold, impulsive, intuitive and unrehearsed at times, she may be even more often cautious, deliberate, temperate and a detailed, meticulous planner.
Being freewheeling has its advantages and clearly some disadvantages too. This being concluded, not being freewheeling is not the same as individuating.
