The Mensa Book of Total Genius

by Josephine Fulton

The Mensa Genius Test sets out to explore exactly what it is that genius means, what it implies, and how this differs from intelligence. When several of the greatest historical geniuses are examined and analysed, the common threads between their lives provide valuable insights into the ways that genius is formed. These themes are explored in this fascinating book, offering a challenging look at the phenomenon of genius. Once the nature of genius has been established, The Mensa Genius Test offers a range of absorbing tests that will allow you to gain an idea of both your IQ and your level of genius. For the first time, specially devised tests challenge the reader's ability in the mental elements that go into producing genius. The result is that the reader is able to calculate whether or not they may be a genius. There is also a discussion on whether genius can be cultivated and improved, along with exercises to help you unleash your maximum potential.
