is someone insane, a genius?

I agree with you. Most geniuses, if not all geniuses, have some sort of Attention Deficit Disorder. Their minds are in a different plane than most people and are labelled as having a psychological disorder. Id a professor or a teacher, is not aware of the signs, many geniuses are put buy the wayside.

This is not to say that the A Grade students are not geniuses, many of them are, but in different fields of expertise.

You are a genius for thinking up this Question as well as giving a very good answer.

Genius? possibly. Insane? not likely. Extraordinarily creative in a bizarre way? Yes. Satan? Doubtful, because he would almost certainly be more popular. Also, he would be a big letdown as the supreme evil power and destructive scourge of the world. He is just a strange singer-songwriter, that's all.

Y/N A genius is someone that probably doesn't get A+ but F-. It allot of cases a genius have mental problems because the have a gain more at the left or right side of the brain. Left knowledge and right creativity. Look at M.J or A.E. M.J has a very Creative brain but lacks in the judgment left brain side. And A.E is very left brained and not Creative right side

A lot of Genii are insane, however most aren't. Though the genii that do have mental issues aren't really genius. The more correct term for them would be savants. I'm not quite positives, but I do believe that genii can become insane from them being genius

Yes, I am a genius and insane too

In my opinion, 'genius' can be applied to two types of people.

The artsy, musical prodigy, and the mathematical and scientific genius (especially this type).

someone could be insane AND a genius. but being insane doesn't make you a genius and being a genius doesn't make you insane. =)

seeing apparent qualities none can decide whether one is genius or insane

yes there can be people watch beautiful mind.It's about a true genius

I think so. If they cured from their insanity they would be a total geniuses.
