　　The Nature of Genius

　　There has always been an interest in geniuses and prodigies. The word “genius”, fromthe Latin gens (=family) and the term “genius”, meaning “begetter”, comes from theearly Roman cult of a divinity as the head of the family. In its earliest form, genius wasconcerned with the ability of the head of the family, the paterfamilias, to perpetuatehimself. Gradually, genius came to represent a person's characteristics and thence anindividual's highest attributes derived from his “genius” or guiding spirit. Today, peoplestill look to stars or genes, astrology or genetics, in the hope of finding the source ofexceptional abilities of personal characteristics.

　　The concept of genius and of gifts has become part of our folk culture, and attitudes areambivalent towards them. We envy the gifted and mistrust them. In the mythology ofgiftedness, it is popularly believed that if people are talented in one area, they must bedefective in another, that intellectuals are impractical, that prodigies burn too brightlytoo soon and burn out, that gifted people are eccentric, that they are physical weaklings,that there's a thin line between genius and madness, that genius runs in families, that the gifted are so clever they don't need special help, that giftedness is the same as havinga high IQ, that some races are more intelligent or musical or mathematical than others,that genius goes unrecognised and unrewarded, that adversity makes men wise or thatpeople with gifts have a responsibility to use them. Language has been enriched withsuch terms as “highbrow”, “egghead”,“blue-stocking”,“wiseacre”,“know-all”,“boffin”and, for many,“intellectual” is a term of denigration.
