Ruben Cantu walks you through the origins of intelligence testing and how to reimagine yourself on your own terms.
Is the word “genius” overused? Or has it evolved away from a marker of intelligence into a term to describe someone who has mastered their talents and maximized their potential? Ruben Cantu has spent in the time and effort to get to the bottom of it and we are grateful he agreed to share with us what he discovered along the way.

“When you gather enough data together, you put it in formation. In formation. Information. So data becomes information and information gives you the ability to start creating knowledge from what has been put together. From that knowledge, you then gain intelligence that gives you the ability to act on that knowledge. From that intelligence you get wisdom which gives you the ability to decide if you want to act on that knowledge or not. and so, if you understand the trajectory and path, you understand your path and how it relates to creativity and genius. — Ruben Cantu
