Got Genius?
This is crunch time for the Review so I'm inviting you to spend some time reading other material, such as Thinking like a Genius.
Have a look at an article on Characteristics of Giftedness Scale and note the ways you can often see special ability in children.
The Three Characteristics of Business Genius talks about concentration, approaches to problem solving and also the talent of adaptive thinking. (I should mention here that perhaps too much adaptive thinking may not necessarily be a mark of genius at all and could get you branded as an indecisive twit. Just ask a few of the judges who have interviewed yours truly during the course of jury selection.)
A fourth article looks at what factors influence the probability that a gifted child will grow into a gifted adult.
I'm no genius, but I do find myself identifying with many of the characteristics that are commonly used to define a genius. I suspect there's a little bit of genius that can be called up in each one of us. The trick is to answer the call when it comes and not let anything negative prevent us from reaching the full potential of our experience.
