Abstract
This chapter proposes that the concept of genius is intimately related with concepts of intelligence, and that genius relates to other unusual gifts that sets the bearer well apart from the average person. The chapter uses the concept of genius as far more rich and complex than the concept of general intelligence. Jensen's list of components is used in tri-dimensional theory. In addition to discussing the multidimensionality of genius, the chapter also comments critically on genius as multiplicative and on aspects related to productivity. Further, detail of chance–configuration theory against Jensen's critique is presented. the chapter suggests that genius is a result of multidimensional and multiplicative processes in terms of concept of emergenesis. This chapter discusses the relation between genius and general intelligence, or what is often referred to as Spearman's g. The chapter also explores the concept general intelligence that is inherited.
