''Buzan's Book of Genius - And How To Unleash Your Own'' is a book that was first published in 1994 by Tony Buzan and Raymond Keene, from a study that was conducted in an effort to rank the world’s greatest geniuses, and as a self-help guide to developing individual genius.〔Buzan, Tony and Keene, Raymond. (1994). ''Buzan's Book of Genius - And How To Unleash Your Own''. Stanley Paul. ISBN 0-09-178551-0〕 == Methodology == According to the authors, the total multiple intelligence genius quotient, or “Genius Score”,〔''Book of Genius'', p.13〕 was the first of its kind ever attempted.〔"What follows is the world's first attempt to rank the greatest geniuses of history." ''Book of Genius'', p.235〕 The categories for making the GS determination included (all on a “scaling” system): dominance in the field, active longevity, polymath, versatility, strength and energy, IQ, ongoing influence, prolificness and achievement of prime goal, universality of vision, outstanding originality, and deliberate desire to create teaching avenues or academies to further the genius’ ideas.〔''Book of Genius'', p. 235〕 In each category a score was awarded on a point-scale: A range of 0 to 100 points was awarded to each of the following categories: dominance in the field, active longevity, polymath, versatility, strength and energy, IQ, ongoing influence, prolificness and achievement of prime goal. In the other categories, a range of 0 to 15 points was awarded to universality of vision, a range of 0 to 10 points was awarded to outstanding originality, a range of 0 to 10 points was awarded to a deliberate desire to create teaching avenues or academies to further the genius's ideas (where even a 0, because it is a ranking relating specifically to the 100 top geniuses, would indicate, in relation to everyone else, a very high score). The active longevity category required special attention. Those geniuses who managed their personal physiques to the maximum to ensure the widest possible time span for the accomplishment of their life's visions deserved extra credit. The grand total available is a maximum of 835 possible points. Out of the 100 geniuses studied, Leonardo da Vinci scored highest both in IQ (scoring 220) and GS (Genius Score - on an 835-point scale, scoring 822). The lowest IQ score was Walt Disney (scoring 123). The lowest Genius Score was Spinoza (scoring 491). Part of the book is also designed for people to develop their own mental skills. The authors claim they have "written the book in a manner that is in itself a formula for the realization of genius", by taking the "principles and lessons learned from those great minds" making them "easily assimilated and adopted by everyone".〔''Book of Genius'', p.7〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buzan's Book of Genius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
