“Genius” Is Much More Than A Number

It is commonly believed that I.Q. tests are the best measurement for identifying a genius. Many scientists have said that if you have a score of more than 140, you’re a genius.
Many other people, including myself, hold ‘genius’ to be much more than a number. But let’s face it: Some people solve problems more easily than others, or socialize more naturally. Do these people necessarily have higher-than-normal I.Q. scores? No. What these people do have is a different way of looking at the world.
They look at the world with a curious mind, as opposed to a stale mind. A genius is someone who achieves greatness through positive action that is the result of a burning curiosity of the unknown. In simpler terms, I propose that a genius seeks continually to improve in the following three main areas:
- Creativity-A genius seeks original solutions. She lives the mantra “If something isn’t working, don’t keep doing it the same way.”
- Intelligence-The intellect certainly is important. Being careful of not overloading her mind with useless information, a genius wants to always be more ‘intelligent’ than before. This encompasses much more than what standardized tests measure, though.
- Productivity-The greatest figures of history, in areas ranging from science to sports, are also known for their prolific careers. This includes, obviously, many failed ideas.
These 3 areas can be improved throughout a lifetime. There are endless ways in which you can increase your creative abilities, raise your intellect, and and be more prolific. In other words, there are endless ways in which you can strive for genius. That’s what this website is all about.
