Are geniuses born or made? After studying the biographies of 400 people considered to be geniuses in their industries throughout the centuries, educational psychologist, Laszlo Polgar came to the conclusion that they are made. 

“A genius is not born but is educated and trained…. When a child is born healthy, it is a potential genius,” he said in an interview with the Washington Post in 1992.
