To me, a genius is a person with extreme cabability in one area or more. I assume that geniuses are born that way, unless they've had a gruelling and hard first years of life... I think there is no need for a test to find out if someone is a genius because it would be so apparent with them excelling at things. I don't think I know a genius but there are many smart people that I know.
If you were to be a genuis, you would become instantly become famous. Whether this is a pitfall or not (depending on the person), it would be inevitable. I don't believe there are geniuses in sport, just academics and some other areas.
