Wholy ****, you are a cocky one.

You’re so humble, LoL. That’s cool that you met someone else with the same mind frame as you. It’s getting harder to meet people you can relate to these days. Sorry about the ADD and Dyslexia. True geniuses always have their flaws, though. :-)

Well, okay. If you say so then I guess I got no option but ta believe ye cus I canna be arsed ta check.

You can be sure that you are NOT the genius you claim by the virtue that it is self proclaimed, self forwarded and self merrited through very basic academic achievements. If you’re a genius. . .I am God.
Both are highly unlikely.
But you are you and that’s what counts.

i have not found out how to deal with dyslexia but if you find out let me know

Join the Genius club! Isn’t it awesome being better than other peoole?

The people who boast the most are typically the most insecure. They are trying to convince themselves as much as anyone else. When you have a balanced life, you don’t feel the need to focus on any particular part of yourself and broadcast it to the universe. The Ph.ds I know are some of the most weirdly insecure people I know. Why? Because they base all of their self esteem on their “intellect” and their “expertise”. When that is challenged, they don’t have anything else to fall back on and they freak out. It’s sad.

It’s easy to be a genius in school. Let’s face it, school is not that hard.

And what you consider “smart” is a pretty narrow definition. It’s pretty silly to concentrate on the narrow area of interests you have (that “no one can keep up with”) to the exclusion of everything else in life. Even IQ tests test a pretty narrow concept of intelligence.

Success in life has little to do with intelligence. It has a lot to do with good people skills and having the discipline to perform consistently. Being a genius with poor social skills and ADHD or whatever you want to label your poor anxiety management skills, is going to lead you to a life of frustration watching people with mediocre intelligence, good people skills, and the willingness to produce consistent results outpace you in the “real world”.

Seems like there was some toes in the way of the OP here…

“great minds think alike and fools seldom differ.” - Unknown.

“Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind.” - Robert Falcon Scott.

Having a dyslexia problem along with the superiority complex?
I can remedy one, but the other of which, there is no cure for. . .
Get a pair of light gray sunglasess with a thin opacity, knock out the left lense and start wearing them. This will help (not cure) to correct your dyslexia.

Whoa! That sounds like a pretty strange solution. How’s it workin’?

Well, in short your an interaction of energy composed with a certain amount of mass known as “self”. What you call “life” is your interpretation of the interaction with other energies outside the perimeter of the “self”.
That is the easiest way to explain the “who” question.

My mom had dyslexia for all her life, so I had time study certain elements about what it is from an experienced position. Simply put, a person does not have dyslexia with one eye. . .
It shifts the neuro-optical system of the brain to the more correct favor.

If you are in UK and still at school/college then ask your tutors for advice.

They may recommend a dyslexia screening test or, after investigations, recommend a G+T option (no, not a gin and tonic, it stands for Gifted and Talented). The dyslexia screening test will only show whether there is a POSSIBILITY of you having a dyslexia problem requiring further investigation. If positive, you will then need to ask to be put forward for more rigorous testing (tests which cannot, incidentally, be rigged or “fooled”). If the school does not feel this is necessary, you can apply to undergo them privately but would be obliged to pay.

Similarly, if your school is unsupportive and does not consider you come under “G+T”, you can see an Educational Psychologist privately for a profiling assessment and take things from there.

Traditional IQ and Mensa tests are pretty irrelevant these days as there are far more effective and efficient methods of testing intelligence/learning ability.

It is true that there are indeed many gifted dyslexics in the world. That does not mean they rank as geniuses… though a very small minority, like Einstein, do.

Do you have a statement of dyslexia or ADD already?

I’ve heard of this working too. :)

! The guy I was talking to told me about different colored glasses and how they help! I will try this, but how exactly does it help dyslexia? What’s the science behind it I mean?

And superiority complex? I do not think I am better than anyone else.

You don’t have to think that you’re better than anyone else to has a superiority complex. When you pedestal yourself above the altitude in which you actually soar, you have a superiority complex. . . It’s not meant as an insult but as a matter of fact.
If you don’t know who you are. . .it is far more enriching in life to know thyself than to attain great riches or accomplish great things. To know what you are not is the begining of great wisdom.

Not sure what you mean. I have been diagnosed with ADD.

are you in UK?

You’re a genius when you admit you know nothing, like socrates.

Ok.. well then the system will be different there. For UK students, an ADD “diagnosis” would come with a Statement of Educational Need. That compels the Local Education Authority to offer learning support (which includes coping with standardised testing and time issues). An SEN statement is also issued for dyslexia sufferers.

Dyslexia is a much misused term. It actually covers a range of spectrum disorders associated with reading and learning. Unfortunately, there is no “quick fix” and the only way to be sure of the right support in that is to undergo proper testing with a trained specialist (online tests cannot accurately diagnose). Some sufferers do indeed find that coloured acetate or spectacles helps them, others don’t. Other techniques to try are cutting a hole in plain A4 card and placing it over text so that as you read, peripheral text is masked. You may find further help here:

Why would you believe I have superiority complex though? I doubt my self everyday, and get depressed by it.

The heading of your post - the banner reads as follows. . . “I think I’m a genius.”
My friend, there is not one whit of doubt involved in a statement like that. The flavor of your post would be much more humble if it read, “Do you think I’m a genius?”
There is a distinct difference between the two.

I think everyone is a bit ‘different’ but most people act the same/normal to fit in really. If everyone acted completely themselves, the world would be a very different place!

A good starting point.

Than explaining “who” would be beyond words.

Exactly!

I do not believe humans can correctly say what a genius is, because discerning who is a genius is opinion. So than a genius is really just a human concept. It is a concept on individuality and superiority. This has gotten me to think… there is technically no such thing as a genius. It is really something we made up.

You´re on to something here. Think about all the time wasted trying to define different things..

I probably speak for the majority of society in saying that one would be considered a genius when one’s discoveries rank amongst those of Einstein or Newton.. or when one can play like Beethoven or paint like Rembrandt…

Of all of the many, many students I have encountered who have felt that they were “different” in their abilities to others and the “only ones who understood things” - only one I knew could be called a true genius. Of the rest, a few were indeed “gifted and talented”. The vast majority? Sadly deluded.

The true genius spent every waking minute of the day thirsting for knowledge and understood that school was the best place to get that, whether others understood him or not was irrelevant to him, as were exams, results, opinions.. Books, laboratories and access to information were all that mattered. Sadly for us, it made him something of a social outcast. Happily for him, he was so absorbed in learning that he didn’t mind.

Did you know Einstein was slow at learning. He did not do his own math. It took him years to learn basic math, and had to be repeated things repeatedly to understand them. I don’t think anyone, including me, truly knows what a genius is.

i think that thats not true and he was always very good at maths

It was true. Like I said, everyone, epecially geniuses, have their flaws.

Did you know that Einstein was not “slow” at math? He was restricted by the rigours of the very inadequate scholastic system available to him, profoundly dsylexic and unable to correctly interpret the symbols presented to him in written format. He actually went on to propose an entirely new and controversial educational philosophy/method… but they didn’t really think he knew much about that either.

Now, true genius? What does it mean? Read beyond the first page of the article in the link above. It might help :o)

Perhaps your physics professor would care to check out my credentials when it comes to studying dyslexia, educational philosophy/systems, giftedness etc?

Do you believe what all teachers tell you?

Or do you research for yourself?

Do you always think so highly of yourself?

When you present a “fact” be prepared to produce the evidence. I produced the evidence for you :o)

Now, I think you need to devote a little more time to study if you want to be considered a genius. I also think that if you managed to read all of that article, and associated links and absorbed it thoroughly enough to be able to formulate an opinion on the nature of genius in less than the 4 minutes my computer screen implies it took you… then you don’t have a problem with dyslexia.

If you require further help or assistance with learning difficulties preventing you from reaching your desired goals, then I’d be happy to provide you with plenty more reading material.

I am happy help to feed a genuine thirst for knowledge as best I can :o)

One thing I don’t feed is “cocky arrogance”.

Do you believe what all teachers tell you?

Or do you research for yourself?

(it was a genuine question.. but I guess it hit a nerve maybe)

hmm not sure what to make of that sorry (reserved thoughts)
