What makes a genius different from the rest of the world? Their brilliance of course, but do they have anything in common between them? Are there any characteristics that share the great minds of Einsten, Picasso and Mozart, among others?
Let's discover some common features that, we could say, define a genium.
1.Difficulties sleeping
The mental activity of these geniuses This is surely the reason why many of them suffer or suffer from insomnia .
Most geniuses have a hard time or have had trouble catching their dreams and have taken advantage of the night to reflect and continue working on your projects.Something that makes a lot of sense, especially if we observe that during the night it is when there is more silence and calm, the ideal working environment.
2.Analyze to satiety
Related to previous insomnia, found We love the ability to concentrate and constant analysis of their surroundings.Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a celebrated psychologist, conducted interviews to 90 geniuses with different specializations.
The conclusion I reach is that everyone had this will to question and find the maximum knowledge of reality and curiosity and impulsivity well above the average.
3.Plasmar ideas scribbling
This desire for knowledge and compression makes geniuses (of any discipline) develop the habit of scribbling by expressing the ideas that they have in a more simple and visual way .Put your ideas in order and then develop them.
This is very typical of people with a high IQ.
4.Constructive self-criticism
Many geniuses, including Picaso and Freud, had a way of working based on the trial and error They detected a problem, worked on a solution, tested it and from that result they drew conclusions to get a better result the next time.
According to Howard Gardner , psychologist, spent a lot of time reflecting on what they wanted to achieve and, once they had the results, study that should change or improve.neat and always directed to build , no matter how much time you spend.
5.Open minds
If the geniuses have something in common, is your ability to discover new perspectives , new angles from which to interpret reality.
Although society considered them crazy or absurd, they continued to feed this distinctive feature that identified them and made them unique .
6.Education at a medium level, but love for his specialty
Dean Simonton, a professor at the University of California, conducted research around the academic reports of more than 300 geniuses between 1480 and 1869-among them da Vinci, Galileo Galilei and Beethoven-Simonton sought to discover if there was any relationship between the academic formation of geniuses with his brilliance The result was surprising: the most notable geniuses and creators were those with a average academic level , we could say that with a diploma ra.However, those who had more and less training showed creativity minor.
What stood out was a absolute dedication to what they were great at.
7.Mentally somewhat unstable
Unfortunately, such bright and developed minds can also lead to disorders such as attention deficit or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
8.Absolute dedication
As we have said, one of the pathologies that geniuses can develop is OCD, which makes perfect sense if we take into account the amount of time that these great individuals use and employ in their passion .
This dedication becomes obsession with ease and, although they are great in theirs, no implies that they are really happy , since what surrounds them ac Aba becoming an impediment to work on your projects.
9.Lonely wolves
That said, if you dedicate most of your time to something that haunts you, the Relationship with your close friends, little by little, is weakening and, on the other hand, you don't work with them too much, since they take time to obtain your goal.
An example would be Einstein, who lived in absolute solitude because he wanted to.
10.A passion without price
Most geniuses no put so much dedication into their projects looking for a monetary reward , but because they feel real passion for what they do.Their motivation was and is unique and exclusively creative .
