The fact you wrote this makes it unlikely your IQ is accurate. Either way you are not your IQ

With this word "genius" I go back etymologically to genie which is an Arabic form for "spirit".
Than I see that everybody has their own spirit; their own unique way of looking at things... their own genius.
Sometimes people have fresh insights which are unique to them because they have discovered a new point of view from which to understand some problem or other. Explaining their insights to others gets them a lot of attention and those are the people who are called geniuses, IMO.
 
I do not see someone as a genius unless it's someone like:
Einstein
Feynman
Leibniz
Euler
Mozart
Leonardo da Vinci
Michaelangelo

A person that has a natural aptitude for something significant and singlehandedly changes the discipline on a historical scale.
