It seems a lot of human behavior can be understood by discerning how old or mature the soul truly is. One source suggests a motto can be attributed to each level of age. Newborn souls would have the motto, “Let’s not do it.” Toddler souls would have the motto, “Do it the right way,” with the “right way” being whatever it was they were taught as a child. The adolescent soul’s motto would be, “Do it my way,” believing their way to always be the “best” way, whatever that is. The adult’s motto would be, “Do it anywhere but here,” and the senior’s motto would be, “You do what you want, and I’ll do what I want.” These mottos can be quite revealing and even useful in choosing successful strategies for dealing with different people. What is Creator’s perspective?

We do see some relevance here in the characterization you describe. In a general way, there is a parallel in considering the development of an individual going through various stages of chronological age progression, and their growth and maturation in becoming adjusted to life in the physical, and exercising and flexing their soul attribute muscles, so to speak. What we would say is rather than this model representing narrow perspectives of beings at various stages on the way to maturity and soul growth with depth and meaning, what has happened to the extraterrestrials, and dark spirits as well, has been not an arrested development so much as a degradation and a loss of flexibility through the diminishment of soul attributes as a function of disuse and corruption. So the earliest of the extraterrestrial civilizations, in effect, started out at a high level, and while as individual beings there was growth and learning in the course of a lifetime, analogous to the progressions you are modeling here, relative to stages of life of human beings, their civilization as a whole has become diminished, and that, in turn, has undermined what is possible for an individual extraterrestrial to achieve and experience no matter how long they live during an incarnation. The same is true for humans as a part of their culture, that a tyrannical government, the devaluation of spiritual pursuits, and growing insensitivity to the plight of others will lead to a severely restricted set of possibilities, a diminished life devoid of deep satisfaction and enjoyment. So in the case of extraterrestrials, the distinction among varied stages of life experience would have to be expressed in much harsher degrees of intensity and levels of perversity, in fact, as being characteristic and to be expected.
