The worlds greatest geniuses have all had 24 personality characteristics in common and you can develop the same traits yourself, says an expert.<\/p>\n

“Most people have the mistaken idea that geniuses are born, not made”, declared clinical psychologist Dr. Alfred Barrious, founder and director of the Self-Programmed Control Center of Los Angeles and author of the book, Towards Greater Freedom and Happiness.<\/em><\/p>\n

“But if you look at the lives of the worlds greatest geniuses like Edison, Socrates, DaVinci, Shakespeare, Einstein, you will discover they all had 24 personality characteristics in common.<\/p>\n

“These are traits that anyone can develop. It makes no difference how old you are, how much education you have, or what you have accomplished to date. Adopting these personality characteristics enables you to operate on a genius level.”<\/p>\n

Here are the Characteristics Dr. Barrios lists, which enable geniuses to come up with and develop new and fruitful ideas:<\/p>\n

  2. COURAGE. It takes courage to do things others consider impossible. Stop worrying about what people will think if you’re different.<\/li>\n
  3. DEVOTION TO GOALS. Geniuses know what they want and go after it. Get control of your life and schedule. Have something specific to accomplish each day.<\/li>\n
  4. KNOWLEDGE. Geniuses continually accumulate information. Never go to sleep at night without having learned at least one new thing each day. Read. And question people who know.<\/li>\n
  5. HONESTY. Geniuses are frank, forthright and honest. Take the responsibility for thins that go wrong. Be willing to admit, ‘I goofed’ and learned from my mistakes.<\/li>\n
  6. OPTIMISM. Read more<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
