<p><span class="size_6">True Genius</span></p><p>Where there's a real tangible, testable and observable difference in perception or capabilities. Read Asimov's great <a href="http://www.haverford.edu/writingprogram/Asimov.html" mce_href="http://www.haverford.edu/writingprogram/Asimov.html">IQ test criticism</a>. A lot of people take stupid online IQ tests that tell them they're geniuses and then ask for their credit card numbers so they can get a paper that acknowledges what they secretly always thought. Emode (tickle.com) and other sites made million doing this. If you ask, the average person will tell you their IQ is 150...even though real IQ tests go to 145... Most the people who have been considered geniuses always have an amazing drive and attitude to accomplish their goals. I blame that for their success, not some inborn genetic advantage. </p><p> </p>
