• The “highly intelligent” are very curious about many things. They want to know how and why? They enjoy learning new things or learning new insights more than any other activity.
• The “highly intelligent” fall in the top 16% of several genetic, talent attributes based on the Unit Normal Distribution. However these scores do not guarantee intelligence in an adult. The genetic talents include: the ability to perceive environment, events, and time-separated consequences of decisions. The ability to predict outcomes based on those perceptions. (The ability to see the paths into the future and  understand the probabilities that show how current choices will result in changes in the future.) There are also pattern recognition talents, abstraction talents and mental focus talents. There is a communication talent required in at least one mode. There may be other talents not mentioned here.

  The key takeaways are:

• 1) multiple talents are required,
• 2) all of them are genetic, and
• 3) the presence of these talents does not guarantee intelligence. You can’t get smarter than your potential, but you can get smarter until you meet your potential. (See item 3.2 below.)
• The “highly intelligent”  have been very lucky in one or both of two ways:

They are in the top 0.003% in one or more of the required talents. In this case they will be self-training. The genetic influence is too strong to be repressed, but it will out itself, and it may out itself in some very strange ways.

The remainder of the top 15-16% have enough natural talent to be highly intelligent, but they won’t self-train. They must have caregivers and family who do not force them to have blind spots in order to avoid seeing an unpleasant family secret.

I usually describe this as: “Do as I say, not as I do.” It invariably creates a blind spot for the “invisible” activity, but also undermines the ability of the mind to see the truth in general because the mind has become used to lying to itself so it won’t see the things it is not supposed to see. Obviously, at this point, the mind itself cannot detect truth and falsity, because the mind would have to see itself lying. That’s almost as much fun as the Who’s: “Pinball Wizard” who became deaf, dumb, and blind to hide a family secret.

These are the “could have beens.” These are the people who had potential and it was snuffed out by their caregivers, family, religion, government and/or culture. We can’t afford the loss if we want to survive as a species.

1. The “highly intelligent” have the ability to improvise when everything goes kablooie. (See: “Where’s the kaboom?” Marvin the Martian, Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.) This attribute also one of the Unit Normal Attributes, but I list it separately here because it seems to be in a different class. This might be better described as having mental adaptability. (A method rather than attribute if you think of a person as an instance of an object oriented class.)
2. The “highly intelligent” have the ability to listen and to learn. They shut up long enough to be open to new ideas. They don’t waste their time debating because debates are paid off in “wins” and “losses,” and the “highly intelligent” get a different payoff by learning new things. They aren’t closed minded. They get bored with close minded. They get bored when they aren’t learning anything. Not being bored is the major payoff.
3. The “highly intelligent” understand how much they don’t know. They are not afraid to say: “I don’t know.” They know when to say: “I don’t know.” If they don’t know it, they can learn it. That’s the payoff.

Beyond that, I don’t have a large enough sample size.
