Important!<\/strong> A genius, possessing all the knowledge of the cultural heritage of his ancestors, is not afraid to step over the old norms and open unexplored horizons in his field of creation.<\/p>\n
Genius is the greatest degree of personality talent that a person realizes in his work.<\/p>\n
Concept in psychology<\/h2>\n
If society defines genius as a spark of God, then psychoanalysts consider it to be the fruit of the protective mechanism of the psyche – sublimation. When such protection is triggered, which is responsible for relieving internal stresses, the overvoltage energy is directed towards achieving social goals. According to psychologists, a genius person is capable of insight.<\/p>\n

Choleric – what kind of person is this<\/p>\n
By the way.<\/strong> Insight is a breakthrough at an intuitive level when solving a set intellectual problem.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
From the point of view of psychology, the state of genius is nothing more than a deviation from the norm. It carries a genetic predisposition and sometimes borders on insanity. Such people may have decreased emotional intelligence, which contributes to the development of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. In this case, it is the disease that helps to create brilliant masterpieces.<\/p>\n
Noticed.<\/strong> Geniuses – “people not of this world”, are often not adapted to ordinary life. They are so passionate about their occupation that they live in a gestalt moment (“here and now”). Such individuals are helpless in everyday situations and sometimes cannot find a common language with other people.<\/p>\n
Where does the word “genius” come from?<\/h2>\n
Pessimist – what kind of person is he?<\/p>\n
In Latin this word will be written as genius, translated as “spirit”. Even in the mythology of ancient Rome, there were spirits – geniuses (personal to humans). It was believed that especially outstanding people have a strong personal spirit. Therefore, since the time of Gaius Julius Caesar (Octavian Augustus), this word has become synonymous with the words “inspiration” and “talent”.<\/p>\n

Attention!<\/strong> Separately, two divisions can be distinguished according to the method of implementation. The first is when a person, while remaining ready for something new, can easily switch from one vector of search for discoveries to another. The second is when a genius works and makes inventions in a narrow way for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
Where did the word “genius” come from?<\/h2>\n
![\"The](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-79378-607aee21a3fe5.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIn the mythology of ancient Rome, there were certain spirits who were in charge of the achievements of people. They were called geniuses. It was believed that each person has his own set of<\/strong> such assistants. The better the spirits coped with their duties, the more their ward did great things. During the time of the Roman emperor Octavian Augustus, the word “geniuses” gradually began to denote not only these mythical characters, but also talent and inspiration in general.<\/p>\n
General definition of genius<\/h2>\n
Despite the global differences in the views of scientists on this phenomenon, there is still a certain common denominator, which, in general, gives an acceptable definition. Genius is the highest level of human development in one or more areas of knowledge and skills. Moreover, such people do not go unnoticed, they necessarily make some outstanding discoveries, invent something new – in general, one way or another, they manifest themselves.<\/p>\n
Sometimes genius is confused with talent and giftedness. In fact, there are several important signs that help distinguish one from the other.<\/p>\n
Giftedness<\/h2>\n
![\"The](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-79378-607aee2263099.jpg\")
Giftedness is an overall high level of ability<\/strong>. Gifted people can successfully cope with business, as well as develop efficiently and quickly. Many young children naturally possess this quality, which is why starting early is so important. After all, giftedness, with the right approach, can develop into talent.<\/p>\nDifferences between talent and genius<\/h2>\n
Both genius and talent are laid down at the genetic level: talent in the form of abilities or inclinations, and genius as a narrowly focused and the only possible development strategy.<\/p>\n
A talented person is a versatile person, a brilliant person develops in only one direction. With regard to a genius, the opinion is correct: if in one thing there is a lot, then in everything else it is not enough. That is why geniuses for the most part are people who are not adapted to life, helpless in everyday life, difficult to communicate, indifferent to their daily affairs. In other words, geniuses create masterpieces, but they wear different colored socks.<\/p>\n
Genius is the highest degree of development of a person's creative and intellectual potential. Genius creates something fundamentally new, unique, capable of changing the course of history, leaving an indelible mark on the memory of generations.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Talent is not capable of this – it does not create anything revolutionary. Almost every person has a talent, and everyone has their own, you just need to find and develop it. Genius either exists or it does not, and it is impossible to predict at what stage of life it will manifest itself.<\/p>\n
Talent needs conditions, mostly favorable – it develops thanks to something or someone. Genius arises not due to, but in spite of, often in tense life circumstances.<\/p>\n
Let us cite as an example the greatest Russian poet A.S. Pushkin. His novel in verse “Eugene Onegin” can be called a genius creation, because it was a fundamentally new phenomenon in the literature of the 19th century. The work, centuries later, does not lose its popularity, and some lines have long been disassembled into quotations.<\/p>\n

genius<\/p>\n
(from Lat. gens – “kind”)<\/p>\n
In Roman mythology – first the progenitor of the clan, then – the god of male strength and abilities. It was believed that every man has his own genius, who was somewhat transformed – he became the patron saint not of physical properties, but of a person's giftedness. The genius of the head of the family was especially revered: gifts were even brought to him on his birthday. The oath of the master's genius was considered inviolable for the slave. Addicted people made such inscriptions as “The genius of our Mark”, etc. Sometimes it was assumed that a person had two geniuses – good and bad. Sometimes the genius was presented as an independent deity, born with a person, guiding his actions, and after death – joining other gods or wandering near the former dwelling. As such, genius corresponds to the Greek Demon. Geniuses were portrayed as young men with cornucopias or with a cup. It was believed that not only people, but also cities have geniuses. In the era of the empire, the cult of the genius of Rome and the genius of the Emperor acquired great importance.<\/p>\n

Genius<\/p>\n
\u2666 Genius<\/p>\n
At the beginning of the 18th century, Abbot Dubos gave the following definition: “Genius is the ability that a person received from nature and which allows him to do well and easily what others do very badly, even if they make great efforts.” In this most general sense, genius is synonymous with talent. However, in practice, there is a noticeable difference between the one and the other. First of all, it concerns the degree of manifestation: genius is an absolutely outstanding talent, and talent is a limited genius. In addition, this difference has a more mystical component, apparently affecting its essential basis. “Talent does what it wants; genius is what he can. ” I don't know who said this, but the wording at least points us to one of the possible directions for solving the problem. Genius is creativity surpassing not only average abilities (this is already talent), but also the abilities of the creator himself to such an extent that it breaks out of his control, at least in part, and does not obey his will. They do not choose their own genius, just as they do not choose the sphere in which genius will manifest itself, and they do not always choose what to do with it. Genius, according to Kant, is a “natural gift”, in other words, “innate inclinations of the soul, through which nature gives art a rule” (Critique of the ability to judge, Part I, \u00a7 46). This does not mean that genius does not need the influence of culture, but no culture can replace genius. If Mozart's father had not been such a teacher as, as far as we know, he was, perhaps Mozart himself would never have become a musician. But no teacher in the world will make Mozart out of a child devoid of genius. Genius is something like a personal deity (this was the meaning of the word “genius” in Latin). We do not choose it, but it chooses us. It is obvious that the role of chance in this choice is large enough, which may seem unfair. Is it easy to come to terms with the fact that you are not Mozart?<\/p>\n
Without exaggerating the significance of the difference between genius and talent, it seems to me that you should not completely abandon it. If we leave aside the romantic enthusiasm, then this difference, in my opinion, is manifested not so much in the nature of the phenomenon as in the degree of expression; not so much in direction as in point of view. There are works in which we feel something that gives us reason to consider them something more than the fruit of talent and labor. Bach and Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Shakespeare, Newton and Einstein, Spinoza and Leibniz … Maybe the illusion caused by the long centuries of the life of their creations speaks in us? To some extent, this seems to be the case. If we treat genius as an absolute exclusivity, it is clear that there will always be something mythical in it, which is why we prefer to talk about the genius of creators who have just passed away. Every person, while he is alive, from one side or the other does not go beyond the ordinary. Only time and disappearance can give some of them the status of exclusivity. And, of course, we are left with the creation itself. It also serves to establish and maintain the correct proportions. “A book is never born a masterpiece,” the Goncourt brothers subtly pointed out. “She becomes one, and genius is the talent of a deceased person.” But although both brothers of Goncourt are also dead, we still consider them nothing more than talents. “She becomes one, and genius is the talent of a deceased person.” But although both brothers of Goncourt are also dead, we still consider them nothing more than talents. “She becomes one, and genius is the talent of a deceased person.” But although both brothers of Goncourt are also dead, we still consider them nothing more than talents.<\/p>\n

Encyclopedia of Brockhaus and Efron<\/h2>\n
(in general, see Genius) – lat. genius (from genus – genus), originally – the spirit of the deceased ancestor, who was given religious veneration. Modern use of words retains some connection with this original meaning. G. is now called a person: 1) who lives an elevated, potentiated inner life and 2) whose activity has not only personal, but general generic<\/strong> meaning (for the people<\/strong> or for the entire clan<\/strong>human). Genius as the highest degree of giftedness in comparison with talent as the lowest is not subject to precise definition; the distinction itself is conditional, attempts at strict delimitation are arbitrary and their application is controversial. In different languages \u200b\u200bthe word G. is used to varying degrees and with different shades; The French are most prodigal on him, for whom, in addition to a special personal quality, he also denotes the spirit of complex and collective phenomena (for example, le g \u00e9nie de la langue, le g\u00e9 nie du Christianisme); approximately the same, but less generously, the English use this word; Germans tend to limit it to the area of \u200b\u200bartistic creativity and speculation; Schopenhauer's view deserves special attention (see this name); among the Germans, as well as among the Russians, G. is more differentiated with talent than among the French and the British.<\/p>\n
