Is there a correlation between high IQ and creative genius?Really,the phrasing of the question contradicts very much correlation,as "creativity" is in no way measured through IQ standardized testing,and creativity is the greatest determinant of a genius as,like you say,it is a genius.Innovation upon any subject requires a drive to create.
As ones IQ increases ,there is an increased probability that they are a genius because their level of creativity has a higher probability of ascending (升高) them to genius level.However if the odds are against them,there is an average probability that they are a genius since they are average percent genius.This is because genius and IQ are composed of different mental constructs as IQ measures a standard comprehension level,while creativity measures the way in which this comprehension is used.For example,if your IQ is 180,the percentage that you are a genius is subtracted by the amount of creativity necessary to become a genius.This is inductive of the influence that the brain has on awareness.The brain gains perceptive awareness upon "creating" thoughts in a continuous cyclic process,and if you were very "intelligent" but could not generate thoughts,you could not be an intellectual being.However,one who is alive can never stop thinking, so the correlation of IQ and genius would objectively appear as a negative exponential function.
There are few exceptionally creative people out there ,just as there are few exceptionally intelligent people,and one does not occur with the other.Possessing a high level of intelligence is a platform of understanding for the creative thinking skills to make up originality.When one bears informal thinking skills , they typically occupy heightened intuitive awareness , and vivid imaginative qualities.Critical thinking skills allow one to make sense of the resultant creative output within its surrounding context of knowledge.
However , not all "geniuses" from our subjective intelligence range necessarily have high levels of creativity.One's level of intelligence can be so high that their platform of understanding generalizes ideas where a genius with lower levels of intelligence must use creativity in order to attain a sort of qualitative equivalence.Examples of people like this throughout history include the likes of John von Neumann and Christopher Langan.
