The
Genius Personality ( Part 2)
In
my previous editions, of October and November
2004, I defined major types of intelligence
present in every human being and the eight
profound genius personalities who made
their mark by their extra ordinary capability
to exercise their wisdom. In this edition,
I am discussing about the dominent charactor
traits of the geniuses have in common.
The
worlds greatest geniuses have all had
the following personality characteristics
in common and you can develop the same
traits yourself, says an expert.
"Most people have the mistaken idea
that geniuses are born, not made",
declared clinical psychologist Dr. Alfred
Barrious, founder and director of the
Self-Programmed Control Center of Los
Angeles and author of the book, Towards
Greater Freedom and Happiness.
"But if you look at the lives of
the worlds greatest geniuses like Edison,
Socrates, DaVinci, Shakespeare, Einstein,
you will discover they all had the following
personality characteristics in common.
"These are traits that anyone can
develop. It makes no difference how old
you are, how much education you have,
or what you have accomplished to date.
Adopting these personality characteristics
enables you to operate on a genius level."
Here are the Characteristics, which enable
geniuses to come up with and develop new
and fruitful ideas:
DRIVE
Geniuses have a strong desire to work
hard and long. They're willing to give
all they've got to a project. Develop
your drive by focusing on your future
success, and keep going.
COURAGE
It takes courage to do things others consider
impossible. Stop worrying about what people
will think if you're different.
DEVOTION TO GOALS
Geniuses know what they want and go after
it. Get control of your life and schedule.
Have something specific to accomplish
each day.
KNOWLEDGE
Geniuses continually accumulate information.
Never go to sleep at night without having
learned at least one new thing each day.
Read and question people who know.
HONESTY
Geniuses are frank, forthright and honest.
Take the responsibility for thins that
go wrong. Be willing to admit, 'I goofed'
and learned from my mistakes.
OPTIMISM

Deliberately focus your mind on something
good coming up.
ABILITY TO JUDGE
Geniuses try to understand the facts of
a situation before judging it. Evaluate
things on an opened minded, unprejudiced
basis and prepared to change according
to facts.
ENTHUSIASM
Geniuses are so excited about what they
do; it encourages others to cooperate
with them. Really believe that things
will out well. The never hold back.

failure. They are not afraid to take chances
because they know how to learn from mistakes.

for good time to come they are determined
to make it happen.
ENTERPRISE
Geniuses are opportunity seekers. They
willingly take on jobs others won't touch.
They are never afraid to try the unknown.
PERSUASION
Geniuses know how to motivate people to
help them get ahead. it sounds easy to
them because that believe in what they
opt to do.
OUTGOINGNESS
Geniuses are able to make friends easily
and be easy on their friends. They are
the ‘boosters’ not somebody
who puts others down. That attitude will
win them many valuable friends.
ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE
Geniuses are generally able to get their
ideas across to others. They take every
opportunity to explain their ideas to
others.
PATIENCE
Geniuses portray immense patience with
others most of the time, but are always
impatient with them self. They expect
far more of their selves than others.
PERCEPTION
Geniuses have their mental radar working
full time. They think more of others'
needs and wants than own.
PERFECTIONISM
Geniuses cannot tolerate mediocrity, particularly
in themselves. They never easily satisfied
with them selves. Always strive to do
better.
SENSE OF HUMOR
Geniuses in history have shown sense of
humor. They laugh at their own expense.
Didn't took offense when the joke is upon
themselves.
VERSATILITY
As geniuses are in constant learning so
they have greater opportunity to learn
things to accomplish, resultantly more
confidence they develop. They do not shy
away from new endeavors.
ADAPTABILITY
They have flexible personalities, which
enable them to adapt to changing circumstances
readily. They often resist doing things
the same old way instead willing to consider
new options.
CURIOSITY
An inquisitive, curious mind helps them
to seek out new information. They are
not afraid to admit that they are new
to it. They always ask questions about
things they don’t understand.
INDIVIDUALISM
They do things the way they think things
should be done, without fearing somebody's
disapproval. This develops decision-making
power in them.
IDEALISM
Geniuses keep their feet on the ground
-- but have their heads in the clouds.
They always strive to achieve great things,
not just for themselves but also for the
better of mankind.
IMAGINATION
Geniuses know how to think in new combinations,
they see things from a different perspective,
than anyone else. They can unclutter their
mental environment to develop different
type of imagination. They give themselves
time each day to daydream, to fantasize,
to drift into a dreamy inner life the
way they did as a child.
So,
these are the prime intelligences which
geniuses have in common.
