Genius

Printer-friendly page

Its In Everyone Of Us



I find it quite funny when people derive 'meaning' from a word that was invented to capture just that. How well a word is defined, depends on the insights people had at that time. And you can't make flower and eggs from a cake..



Analysing the origin of the word intelligence is not the same as explaining intelligence. As far as genius is concerned - I find the following indicators fairly accurate:


  • High IQ?

    No, not by conventional measurement methods, genius is much more.


  • A lot of education?

    No, too much orthodox education can detract from genius, conditioned thinking blocks genius.


  • A great deal of knowledge?

    No, it can help facilitate genius and although a genius may have a lot of knowledge, having a lot of knowledge does not imply genius. It may just imply a good memory.


  • The ability to create new connections between objects, object behavior and systems?

    Yes, this is genius


  • The ability to think differently creating new concepts?

    Yes, this is the creative aspect of genius


  • The ability to change and use alternate perspectives and choice of perception?

    Yes, this is genius


  • Knowing that anything is possible?

    Yes, a sign of genius


  • Knowing that the experts may be wrong?

    Yes, no lack of genius here


  • The ability to detect and recognize patterns?

    Yes, a must for any genius


  • Because we all have the ability to use the last six above, can anyone be a genius.

    Yes, its in everyone to to be just that. A Genius
