What does make you a genius?


What makes you a genius

Genius:

1. an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, music, etc.: the genius of Mozart.

2. a person having such capacity.

3. a person having an extraordinarily high intelligence rating on a psychological test, as an IQ above 140.

4. natural ability or capacity; strong inclination: a special genius for leadership.

5. distinctive character or spirit, as of a nation, period, or language.

6. the guardian spirit of a place, institution, etc.

7. either of two mutually opposed spirits, one good and the other evil, supposed to attend a person throughout life.

8. a person who strongly influences for good or ill the character, conduct, or destiny of a person, place, or thing: Rasputin, the evil genius of Russian politics.

There are 8 distinct definitions for the word genius. Representors of the word genius are Einstein, Oppenheimer, Beethoven, Mozart, etc. By the world's standards, a genius is a person who knows just about everything there is in any given subject. Very much wrong, I am afraid. An I.Q. test proves next to nothing about your intelligence. It merely measures how well your reasoning skills work. Genius is a reserved term for the smartest of the group. However, through some investigation I have found the only requirement for being a genius. The requirement is to be P E R F E C T. Yes, it is to be perfect, a genius is to be without blemishes and mistakes. A genius must have the answer to every question. I have yet to complete my investigation, so there may be some changes to this essay. So far, the only genius is God, he knows everything. Thus, Einstein and all those "geniuses" were just very, very, very smart. Keep up with this essay.
