Genius by Hans Jürgen Eysenck
The Natural History of Creativity
An empirical examination of exceptional creativity and intellect that argues genius emerges from a mix of high cognitive ability, particular personality traits and biological predispositions, all interacting with environmental opportunities and training. It reviews psychometric data, neurobiological ideas and historical case studies of eminent figures to weigh heredity versus environment and to identify cognitive processes behind divergent thinking. The work emphasizes scientific measurement over romantic myths and presents genius as a complex, multifactorial phenomenon amenable to systematic study.
