Genius is not the extreme of intelligence. It does not relate to intelligence as the height of basketball provessionals relates to that of the average population. I have said this before, but I want to insist on it. To compare the occurrence of genius to the occurence of extreme height, or even of very high IQs, is to be wholly mistaken about the very basic fact of genius.
