Genius

A couple of my favorite movies are "Amandeus" (word not on spell check) and "Good Will Hunting". Both are about brilliant talent in the soul of mixed up people. I wonder what it would be like to raise a genius?? To raise a well-rounded child with abilities that are way beyond your understanding, who are not accepted or misunderstood by the majority of society,would be very difficult. The jealousy that surrounded Amandeus would be a killer to a mother's heart. I read a book last summer about "emotional" intelligence. It was written in response to a study of people with high IQ's. The study followed their lives and the percentage of 'success' stories was less than expected. The author was therefore talking about other kinds of "smarts" than IQ smarts. He called the understanding of people and situations Emotional intelligence. We were discussing
wisdom and understanding last week. I wonder where those two fit into the intelligence scale. IQ or emtional intellegence or both.
