文档介绍：Genius: the natural history of creativity presents a novel theory of genius and
creativity, based on the personality characteristics of creative persons and
geniuses. Starting with the fact that genius and creativity are related to
psychopathology, it uses modern research into the causes of cognitive over-
inclusiveness to suggest possible applications of these theories to creativity.
Professor Eysenck reports experimental research to support these theories in
their application to creativity, as well as considering the role of intelligence,
social status, gender and many other factors that have been linked with genius
and creativity. The theory traces creativity from DNA through personality to
special cognitive processes to genius.
