There’s nothing wrong with this form of questioning. They will then ask a set of questions based on their understanding of what worked or didn’t work for them in the past. The average person will experience a problem and then reflect back on past experience to determine what to do about it in the present moment. However, there’s more to genius than simply asking a question and getting an answer. I’ve made mention before how asking the right kinds of questions will significantly transform the way you think and approach problems. In fact, an individual can be considered to be far more creative than intelligent, and vice-versa. It was of course once thought that high levels of intelligence predicted one’s capacity for creative thought. This paled in comparison to the highest IQ ever measured of 228 on Marilyn vos Savant who is an American magazine columnist, author, lecturer and playwright. In fact, Richard Feynman, an American Physicist who won the Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics, had a respectable IQ of only 122. What was it that separated these geniuses from everyone else? It certainly wasn’t intelligence.Īcademics throughout history have tried to measure the supposed link between intelligence and genius. They accomplished incredible things that most people only dream about and struggle to even comprehend. Albert Einstein, Leonardo daVinci, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, Sigmund Freud and Mozart are all considered geniuses in their own right.
