Change with Common Characteristics of High IQ Creative Genius

Some thoughts before you read about “Common Characteristics of High IQ Creative Genius”, and introspect to see how much close you are from a GENIUS. (Genders are addressed in brackets “()” differently then from the normal practice, to keep away from the gender bias, this may distract your reading ability but will certainly pause you understand the message conveyed to innovate the language )



“Change can never be a fear for a person who believes in h(im/er)self because such a person believes that, (s)he can change things in the way (s)he wants it, provided (s)he accepts the change for h(im/er)self and then make the others believe it thereafter.”






“Changes always bring challenges and challenges make a person stronger; the person who collapses or resist change with a fear that it will take away the glory and pride that, (s)he enjoyed will not sustain because glory and pride is an acknowledgement from the people around you and not from those people who do not meet you or see you or watch you, so if you are capable then the appreciation will follow from the people around you, rest all things gets swallowed by the past, because you NEITHER created a history for people to admire/abuse/create curiosity to know you more, so on NOR made an admiral space to remember in the present/future for the dictates or beauty that inspires others to walk through the future in present that was never built before though conceived by you.”





“Pride and Glory is your conduct that others believe and also appreciate you either by respecting you or by blessing you for bringing the change that a person could not bring but though wanted to see it, or the change that was appreciated by people when success could be achieved or admired even if failed after sincerely putting the efforts.”





“Success, for me, is not what I achieved but what I consistently achieve with all the changing circumstances and ongoing challenges thereof”



I have taken your precious time without making you realize that you are one of those geniuses who are part of this world’s success either by being a contributor / participator / appreciator/ criticizer in growth of the future which is going to be enjoyed by your successors, without (s)he realizing, what have you done for h(er/im) in past.

Common Characteristics of High IQ Creative Genius[extract from a website, just wanted to share it with you all]

Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous. There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few writers of antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages could slowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and ignorance that had darkened life for more than half a millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist's snobbishness.

(Albert Einstein, 1954)


Having read many great philosophers over the past ten years (see Bibliography) I feel that I am reasonably well qualified to comment on some common characteristics of 'creative genius'.

i) They tend to live fairly isolated lives such that they have a great deal of time to think, and they are not so indoctrinated with the beliefs of their time, thus they are more likely to create / discover new knowledge.

ii) They tend to be very stubborn and believe that they are right, but this stubbornness is founded on a passion for Reason and Truth.

iii) They believe that things can be understood and explained by Science and Reason. That reason is founded on Principles and their logical deductions which are True if they correspond with our Senses. (Thus opinion plays no part!)

iv) They tend to be both curious and very good at understanding how things work. Often philosophers were also inventors.

v) They tend to be non-specialists with a diversity of knowledge (very different to modern education!)
