20 Things You Didn't Know About... Genius
“..for success in science and art, a dash of autism is essential.”
First, find the meaning of this dash and measure it. The accurate amount requires scientific method and mathematical honesty.
Hans Asperger, an Austrian pediatrician, identified what is now called Asperger’s syndrome: a form of autism marked by intense absorption in a very narrow range of special interests.
Reality bites that Being a genius is no guarantee of financial security. A recent study at the Ohio State University Center for Human Resource Research showed that baby boomers with average and low I.Q.s were just as good at saving money as those with high I.Q.s.
One irony is, Albert Einstein is said to have lost most of his Nobel money in bad investments. Anyone can do that.
Anyone can be a genius: In the 1990s Bell Labs found that its most valued and productive electrical engineers were not those endowed with genius but those who excelled in rapport, empathy, cooperation, persuasion, and the ability to build consensus.
Somethings phisical. You, too, can be a genius (maybe). Scientists at the University of Sydney and Macquarie University in Australia say intelligence can be boosted, at least in the short term, by a daily dose of 5 mg of creatine, a compound found in muscle tissue.
