First of all I want to apologize for reviving this old thread, but I was doing a search on the net and ended up reading this interesting story.

Now on topic. A genius person. A genius person is the one the combines several aspects regarding intelligence and thinking, and is able to apply these aspects in what we call skil achievmentes.

Some of the aspects I am talking about would be:

- Ability to fast calculate: a genius person has to solve arithmetic problems with pretty ease.

- Ability to fast mind-react: a genius person has to be always aware, and react when questioned. Doesn't need to be constantly reading, because his mind is prepared to react at anytime to any situation.

- Very good memory: a genius person has to have good memory, both photographical and audible.

- Ability to reason: a genius person has to understand, not know why things work the way they do.

- Spacial reasoning: a genius person has to have abstract reasoning, which is understanding figures and their position in space.

- Crazyness: a genius person has to be at least a bit crazy. Has to be different, have something in mind that always keeps him busy.

- Creativity: a genius person has to have the ability not to copy, but to create and invent.

- Mechanical reasoning: a genius person has to understand mechacnics. Have another point of view of the world.

- High iq.

- Skill: a genius person has to proove the world he's a genius.

- Emotional coldness: last but not least, a genius person has to be 100% focused on what his brain thinks and not what his emotions lead to.



Sidis probably had a few of the aspects I've mentioned here, but not all, and there are hundreds of human beings that have lived in our planet that have had them all and even more. I've gone through, school, high school, undergraduate college, and currently graduate college, and I have met with brilliant men. Both in person and in my readings. And so I have also met with overestimated and overrated men. Let's take for instance people who learn many languages, which definetly isn't a great achievement, where if it's in 3 weeks or 3 years. Learn a language is like learning a recipe. Go on and again and on and again until it sticks. There is no creativity, or invention or developing of new breakouts during the process.

From what I have known, heard and red, the most brilliant and genius persons that have ever lived to me are the following:

20th century:

Bobby Fischer and Jose Capablanca. Yes, I know what you are going to say, two chess players. But both of them combine every single of the points I mentioned previously and executed them relentlessly. Countless stories have been told about how Fischer till today is able to reproduce every single one of his chess games, and about how Capablanca did never read a chess book in his life. At one point of Fischer's career he affirmed that there was no point in playing chess because the 8x8 table had already al the posible strats done by his time, so what did he do ? create a new game.

And to the fellow that said Einstein's iq was 300++ I'm sorry but you're wrong. Actually Einstein is regarded as one of the less intelligent scientists ever (140-150 iq).

19th century:

No question, mathematician Carl Gauss and physicist C. Maxwell.

18th century:

No question, Wolfgang Mozart, the kid that at age 3 was told by his father to pick between mathematics and music, that who is said if he should have pick math he would have been and done more than any other man, and who apart from being a composer was a very talented billards players (mechanical reasoning).

17th century:

No question. Isaac Newton

16th century:

No question. Leonardo da Vinci.

that almost sounded like science fiction, but yeah as drone said if he lacked so much these social abilities then he definitely lacked something big and that's what probably kept him from being known.
