The secret of genius

She looks like any other girl in her first year at

school: a smart uniform, a happy smile and a bag of books. But Dineshi, a five-year-old from west London is so clever that she seems almost un- real. With an IQ* of

160, Dineshi knew the alphabet, the days of week and the months of the year when she was one and a half. She started reading just before her second birthday and writing just after it. ‘When she was a baby, I real- ized she was exceptionally bright,’ says Dineshi’s mother, ‘so I tried to provide an environment to help her develop intellectually. I started giving her lessons and she enjoyed them.’

By comparison with the others, such children seem to be incredible intelligent. But according to Professor Michael Howe, a psychologist at Exeter University, they do not have an inborn superhuman talent. Their


remarkable achievements are the result of practice, persistence, and an encouraging environment. The case of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart seems to support Professor Howe’s theory. Mozart was composing mu- sic by the age of 5, and at 6 or 7 he was giving profes- sional concerts around Europe. Most people believe that that this was the result of inborn genius. But Pro- fessor Howe claims that Mozart’s childhood composi- tions are largely arrangements of other composers’ work. Most importantly, his father was an extremely ambitious music teacher who made his son practice more than three hours a day. By the time he was 6, he had probably spent 3,500 hours studying music.

Are geniuses happy? As a child in the early 1900s, Billy Sidis was described as ‘the most remarkable boy in the United States’. Brilliant at languages, he taught himself Latin at four and could read and speak 8 lan- guages when he was six. At seven, he gave lecture to the University of Harvard Mathematical Club. He was genius until everything began to go wrong. His par- ents had to push him to develop his exceptional intel- ligence, but had totally neglected other important skills. For example, Sidis did not know how to dress himself properly even by the time he was adolescent. Finally, he suffered a breakdown.

There are plenty of people who have high IQs but never achieve anything great. They are bright, but they lack the drive to get on: motivation. Thomas Edison, the inventor of electric light, said genius was 99% per- spiration, 1% inspiration. Thus, in conclusion it might be said, we should all be able to excel if we try hard


enough.

*IQ – Intelligence Quotient: a measure if intelli- gence.
