No. Geometric intuition is widely believed to be only a very rudimentary native skill. There appear to be structures in our brain that allow us to think spatially [1], but infants are generally unable to perform even very simple geometric reasoning. Our environments are full of geometric theorems however, that our brains become acustomed to within the first few years of our lifes.
