There are many different ways to think of someone as a genius. But if you look at historical figures that most people would consider geniuses, such as Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci and Beethoven, you see that they have one thing in common: they were all able to think in ways that were different. was then normal, and laid that way bandages like no one else did. Based on that pattern, this article will highlight some of the ways in which to do so you think like a genius.

To step

1. Love to learn. Geniuses are passionate about the things they do. If you want to learn to think like a genius, find what you love and immerse yourself in it.
   • Think about your learning style and make use of it. The main types are auditory, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic and kinesthetic. Experiment with different information recording techniques and keep track of what works for you.
   • Engage in self-study. There are many resources available on the internet and through local services such as folk universities and libraries that put all kinds of interesting information at your fingertips.
   • Be proactive and ask questions. There are people you meet on a daily basis who know all kinds of things and have a variety of valuable skills to share. As a genius, you must be interested in the potential of everything.
   • Study thoroughly. Learn everything there is to learn.
   • As you learn more about the different disciplines, you can think about how they relate to each other.
2. Start with ambitious projects and round them off completely. Genius ideas have often seen the light of day in the pursuit of what many contemporaries thought was downright insane. Create opportunities for yourself to discover new things by taking journeys that no one has embarked on before.
3. Welcome change, uncertainty and doubt. It is on the fringes of knowledge that innovation and discoveries happen. Don't be afraid to question conventional wisdom, as geniuses are often the ones who rewrite existing conventions.
4. Be productive. Put quantity above quality. To produce exceptionally good work, you have to do a lot of what you do. It increases your chances of success and ensures that you get more exercises along the way. It also takes the pressure off knowing that while an effort may be your first, it probably won't be your last. Most geniuses in history did a lot of of many things, and not everything was brilliant!
   • There is a theory that becoming a "master" in a subject requires 10,000 hours of practice. This idea is demonstrated, for example, by orchestral musicians and computer programmers. (Quote: Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers, 2009, but see also: Creativity: Genius and other Myths, Weisberg, 1986)
5. Learn about Bloom's taxonomy. Bloom's taxonomy is a breakdown of the six levels of thought, from the lowest level to the highest. You can use this to think on a deeper level.
   • Knowledge is the acceptance and belief of a fact. Knowing that 2 + 2 equals 4 does not mean that you also know what 2 + 2 = 4 means.
   • Application is knowing how to use a fact. You can determine that 2 cats plus 2 cats equals 4 cats. You don't know what 2 + 2 = 4 means, but you can apply it.
   • Understanding is understanding a fact: You understand the concept of addition and why 2 + 2 = 4 is correct.
   • Analysis is the division of information into parts. 4 - 2 = 2; (1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = 2 + 2 = 4.
   • Synthesis is the creation of something new. (2 + 2) + (2 + 2) = 4 + 4.
   • Evaluation: the discussion of the merits of 2 + 2 = 4.
6. Think different. You are different. You think differently. Every kind of genius is different and unique. And every kind of opinion has some truth to it and what you can learn from it.
   • Remember that there are several ideas that have not been historically accepted, including yours. Throughout history, geniuses have not been deterred by that; any more than you should.

Tips

• Learn to be open to suggestions and criticism in a positive way. You can learn a lot from intelligent people if you listen to them carefully.
• Don't just read about geniuses, read the work of geniuses so you can understand how they think. Always look for the primary sources.
• Read not only success stories, but also the stories of failures; learn from that.
• If you think you're nearly as smart as a genius, set yourself an even higher goal.
• Read about Sherlock Holmes and Jim Moriarty. Study how they think. It can help to study two conflicting, though fictional, geniuses.
• Find out about geniuses, especially in the field or fields that interest you. What made Richard Feynman so great? And what about Nikola Tesla?
• Everyone is a genius, but in different ways. Think outside the box.
• Don't stop learning and trying new things, even if you are a genius.
• Don't overthink things. That leads to misconceptions.

Warnings

• If you learn a lot and share your knowledge with everyone, don't advertise it. Geniuses think they know very little about themselves. Try to think that way yourself and enjoy learning. That's why they have become successful.
• Do not fight. Instead, try to use your mind to befriend others.
• Don't be a selfish person if you think you are a genius.
