"It has been said that a 140 IQ is a "genius" score, however there is no definition, as such, in either of my psychological dictionaries about "genius." Neither is there an IQ score ranked as "genius"... Genius may be in the eye of the beholder. Furthermore, a true genius may not score particularly well on a standard group IQ test... And really, those who are what we may call a genius don't need a score to prove it."
The Question Of "Genius"
Abbie F. Salny, Ed.D., Supervisory psychologist, American Mensa
As a member of American Mensa myself, I have met individuals from all walks of life, possessing an amazing array of characteristics. Some are gifted musically, some are talented artists, others have an insight and reasoning ability that exceeds most around them, and my gift lies with math and science.
I think the true measure of genius is being able to see what most others cannot, i.e. assimilating a seemingly random scattering of information or ideas, and processing it into a conclusion.
However, like a racecar without a driver, genius in and of itself is merely potential until it is applied, and even then it may take an individual years or decades to truly discover their niche in life.

Genius in true sense is different than what we ppl generally apply for. A genius is someone who is extremely intelligent, rational, in control of almost any situation and a nerd in sciences.

Biology has plenty to do with it, yet so does your enviroment. as an occasion: If there become genius toddler, yet born to a detrimental kin who could not discover the money for appropriate food, and his education become not on time, it could have an considerable effect on his intelligence. further genius in lots of cases is going with some style of psychological well being concern (stastically artists are plenty greater probable to have some psychological well being concern than a non artist) so while you're rasied in an enviroment that makes your concern worse you are able to not spare the greater suitable attempt to be a genius. yet whilst that guy or woman is raised interior the final enviroment then it could make an considerable effect. And the 0.33 area is, no count how sensible and gifted and hardworking you're you nevertheless choose some luck. Malcom Gladwell's e book Outliers provides some amazing examples how genuine experts have spent ten thousand hours refining their craft and have been given the uncommon opportunities to realize this (as an occasion bill Gates become waiting to software at night because of the fact he become next to a college that has some lax risk-free practices. Or professional hockey gamers in Canada all have birthday's on the brink of january because of the fact whilst they seem to be a toddler they are divided by utilising 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, so the boys in january are one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days older than the boys in December and subsequently have a super benefit)
