What are the signs of a genius?

Answer 1

Extraordinay ability or talent. Uses logic. And, frequently, arrogance or disdain towards others.

The previous statement is not only untrue, but unfair as well. I myself have an intelligence well above genius level and I am not arrogant nor disdainful towards others. I value others input and answers because I know that just because my IQ is high, doesn't mean I know everything. I may miss something that others see because we each have a different way of looking at things.

As for signs of genius? It depends on the age. For me, my school was never challenging, the teachers began giving me college grade work because I would finish the entire years work in a week.

Some individuals of genius level notice that they have a rather extensive vocabulary, a picture perfect (or nearly) memory. Some are also more creative than others (it all depends on the type).

If you believe that you or some one you know are a type of genius, the only sure way of finding out is to be tested. If it is a child, I recommend speaking to a guidance counselor at his/her school.

Geniuses tend to be emotionally distant, but very sensitive. Their humility comes from proper awareness, and oftentimes others' lack of ability to understand them.

The extra brain power is also thought to cause the quirky behavior often shown. Geniuses are not concerned about looks, and often will wear odd clothing, or clothing in an odd manner (Einstein only buttoned the top button of his topcoats).

Uniqueness. Originality. Unpredictability. Individuality. Objectivity. Practicality. Hard work. Incredible concentration/focus. Cautiousness. Awareness. Obstinacy. Childlike simplicity in appearance. Extra terrestrial complexity in attitude. Weirdness.
