1) RESEARCH GENIUS
Someone who has extensive knowledge of their field and can apply it in research or industry or teach it to someone to learn.
2) GENERAL GENIUS
Someone who can carry an intelligent conversation of any topic. And not look stupid.
3) STREET GENIUS
Someone who can live on any means and get what they want.

A genious is technically defined as anyone that knows aproximately as much as I do, and can solve approximately as many problems. If lower than me, then the person is not a genious. If apparently significantly higher than me, then the person is obviously faking it as so is only a fake genious. And actually, those close to me are really only pseudogeniouses, because they do not actually match me.
Proof: A = A. Let us define me as A. You are clearly not A. I am a genious, so you are clearly not. Any attempt to deny this is a contradiction, for you would be claiming that A != A, which anyone can see is clearly false.

A Genius to me is someone who creates a solution to problem before the problem was even known. Where a population of thousands have accepted something as fact, the genius knows already that the facts are wrong.

A genius is someone who is extraordinarily creative. For instance, instead of just writing a poem, a genius might invent a new type of poem (like the sonnet form).

What's so big about a sonnet?
Structured poem?
