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
