How Geniuses Think

Has anyone ever called you a genius? Have you ever referred to anyone else as a genius? The word genius is a word that we may use often, but we may not know what actually makes someone a genius. Geniuses are people who think in a way that allows them to have creativity beyond our normal capacity. A genius is someone who is extremely creative. A genius is defined by Michael Michalko in his article, “How Geniuses Think,” when he says, “Creative geniuses are geniuses because they know ‘how’ to think, instead of ‘what’ to think”. Some scientists argue that genius is defined by a high IQ. Others argue that it isn’t defined by IQ, but by the things a genius creates. Some even argue that someone with a high IQ is not considered genius unless they

They also keep their minds open to new solutions, so that at any moment they can change to a different resolution that could be easier to complete. This extreme level of creativity allows them to solve problems and resolve issues much easier and much more efficiently (“Thinking Strategies”). Genius is genetic, but normal people can still develop their minds to think close to the way a genius thinks. For example, a scientist conducted a study focusing reproductive thinking. In his article, “The Difference Between the Way a Genius Thinks and the Way an Average Person Thinks,” Michael Michalko

They knew it was a pendulum-weight and didn’t think anything else of it. The people not told of the object's intended use used the pendulum-weight to hammer the nail into the wall. This is an example of reproductive thinking.
“Experimental psychologists like to tell a story about a professor who investigated the ability of chimpanzees to solve problems. A banana was suspended from the center of the ceiling, at a height that the chimp could not reach by jumping. The room was bare of all objects except several packing crates placed around the room at random. The test was to see whether you could teach the chimp to stack the crates and make them into steps to reach the banana.
The chimp sat quietly in a corner, watching the psychologist arrange the crates into steps and then distributed them randomly again. The chimp understood and performed the task. The professor invited his associates to watch the chimp conceptualize and build the steps to the banana. The chimp waited patiently until the professor crossed the middle of the room. When he was directly below the fruit, the chimp suddenly jumped on his shoulder, then leaped into the air and grabbed the banana” (“The
