I think that u just cant be born a genius. You might be able to grasp/learn things quickers than others, but the fact that his father raped him with learning from a baby shows that hard work will make u a genius.
Anyone can do it, it just depends how motivated you are.
Hmm.. ima go play sc stuff hw :D

Let's just say IQ is like APM :

Me too. j/k

Seriously tho, it's an old thread, but soundwave obviously had something more than the odd remark to say, so I don't mind.

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).




that definitely proves that IQ means shit when we are talking about true genius.


I agree totally. Considering the limited knowledge we have about intelligence, we shouldn't be so judgemental, especially when IQ tests and similar bs measurements serve no purpose, except to give people a false reason to think they are superior.

On Einstein's IQ, he never took an IQ test, so I have no idea how they are measuring it...

yeah apm's only resemblance to iq is that their numbers happen to be remotely in the same region. They're like complete opposites

I read the story, but didn't read any of the other posts. Omg that guy is so freakin intelligent, but he just didn't have any social skills. What a waste; he had so much potential.

Harvard was different back then, but still very difficult to get into I'm sure. But perhaps more suited to his abilities. Just guessing though.

Perhaps his early education played a large part. I think I remember hearing from various places that we have the highest 'mental apm' (I say that because I forget the term, but I think it may be close enough) as toddlers, but as we grow up a lot of them go to waste. Perhaps his didn't. Maybe not though, because I bet millions of parents wanting their children to be famous prodigies have tried this by now and without such success.

Bigballs, what's tenth grade math? Solving linear equations?

Btw, most critics (except maybe the psycho lesbian feminists) agree that Mill's wife wasn't responsible for any of his important work even though he attributes his best stuff to her--he was just a bit of a fuck up that way.

Reading about prodigies is always interesting. That crossword puzzle thing is SICK.
