Unfortunately, all geniuses are named by non-geniuses. I was born with an extraordinary capacity to think, and have been called a 'genius' thousands of times in my life. When people use the word, it is through their own lens as to what that words means to them and how it comports with their perception of someone.

I have accomplished some truly remarkable things in my career. I've solved complicated problems in days that entire teams of engineers could not solve in decades, or environmental problems that were deemed hopeless, or radiologic problems that were considered too dangerous to cope with. However, in my opinion, the greatest reason people call me a genius is simply because they don't feel threatened by me when they don't understand something. I do not make someone 'pay a penalty' when they miss a clue, and I always talk up to people and not down. When you make others feel 'smart'(when they know you don't have to), they respect that.

What made people believe that Einstein was a "genius" wasn't his achievements in physics, it was that he was approachable by not only his peers, but the general public as well. Had Einstein been a prick, he would have been scorned and forgotten the day after he died.
