Super Genius A genius is a person of great intelligence, who shows an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work. Super Geniuses always show strong individuality and imagination, and are not only intelligent, but unique and innovative. The term Super Geniuse may also be applied to someone who is a polymath, such as Goethe or da Vinci, but a polymath is generally considered a well-rounded genius, gifted in many areas, e.g. math, physics, art, poetry, etc.[1] Einstein, for instance, was a genius in physics, but not necessarily super in other areas such as art or literature. An example of a fictionalgenius is Sherlock Holmes, who had super capabilities in the art of deduction, but whose knowledge in other fields of study, such as astronomy and philosophy, was below average, due to a professional disinterest. Although the term "genius" is sometimes used to denote the possession of a superior talent in any field, e.g., Roger Federer may be said to have a genius for tennis or Winston Churchill for statesmanship, in many of these cases the term is applied incorrectly and should instead be used specifically to denote a super natural capacity of intellect and creative originality in areas of art, literature, music, science and mathematics. Super Genius may come in a variety of forms, such as mathematicalgenius, literarygenius, or poeticgenius, etc. Artisticgenius may show itself in early childhood as a prodigy or later in life; either way, geniuses eventually differentiate themselves from the others through great originality. Intellectual geniuses often have crisp, clear-eyed visions of given situations, in which interpretation is unnecessary, and they build or act on the basis of those facts, usually with tremendous energy. Accomplished geniuses in intellectual fields start out in many cases as child prodigies, gifted with superior memory or understanding genius noun 1. someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality; "Mozart was a child genius"; "he's smart but he's no Einstein" [syn: mastermind, brain, Einstein] 2. unusual mental ability [syn: brilliance] 3. someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field [syn: ace, adept, champion, sensation, maven, mavin, virtuoso, hotshot, star, superstar, whiz, whizz, wizard, wiz] 4. exceptional creative ability [syn: wizardry] 5. a natural talent; "he has a flair for mathematics"; "he has a genius for interior decorating" [syn: flair] [also: genii (pl)] super genius
