（D）
The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely
accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice.
Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical
genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability.
It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction.
Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar
qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared
the same birthday.
This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would hive her some idea of a
fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she
was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed
with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give
her a primary knowledge of her field. She’s be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly
understand its inner workings.
Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused.
By practising in this way, he delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious,
newly learned skills into unconscious. Automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by
breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better
pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of
feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to
take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a
room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in
order to understand or solve future problems.
The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability
to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of
the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public
discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play

a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through
behaviour.
