Things You Should Never Say to a Genius

Behavioral scientists compiled the ultimate faux-pas list for interacting with geniuses. Never ask, 'So, when's your superpower going off?' or 'Can you fix my Wi-Fi with your brain?' Avoid probing, 'Have you tried work-life balance?' and whatever you do, don't say, 'Bet you can't solve world hunger in an afternoon.' In a poll of 120 Nobel laureates, 81 % reported lasting emotional scars from such comments. Etiquette training now includes 'Genius-Safe Communication' workshops. Compliments are fine'just keep them under 1,000 words.
