- For the mythological figure, see genius (mythology).
- For the concept of literary or artistic inspiration, ability, and poet as seer in Romantic theory, see genius (literature).
A genius is a person with distinguished mental abilities. This can manifest either as a foremost intellect, or as an outstanding creative talent. The IQ level at which someone may be called a genius is usually defined as 130 or above. The term also applies to one who is a polymath, or someone skilled in many mental areas. The term specifically applies to mental rather than athletic skills, although it is also colloquially used to denote the possession of a superior talent in any field; e.g., Pelé may be said to have a genius for soccer, or Gandhi for statesmanship.
Etymology
In Ancient Rome, the genius was the guiding or "tutelary" spirit of a person, or even of an entire gens. A related term is genius loci, the spirit of a specific locale. In contrast, the internal driving force within all living things is the animus. A specific spirit, or daemon, may inhabit an image or icon, giving it supernatural powers. More on [ Genius ]
