genius hunting

Especially for those of you who suspect that you may be harbouring an inner Einstein, or perhaps like me, you’re intrigued by what makes individuals reach above the ordinary and whether we can develop those qualities in ourselves.

This is a 10 part unfolding checklist that should have been called Developing Genius (because I believe it’s entirely possible - though the pathways may relate less to cause and effect than our traditionally schooled minds may feel comfortable with. Crisis; playful probability; character and will; count for more in eliciting our best selves than can be predicted by an IQ test.

    I love the genius topic! Ive often thought about it. I would put ‘unlocking creativity’ at the top of the list. People who i have thought of as having a genius streak are those that dare to be creative in profound ways. There are thousands of people with off the scale I.Qs, but its the ones who combine unthought of elements or ideas to create something ‘impossible’, that to me is the true mark of genius…
