can someone still be classified a "genius" yet not be skilled in math? I always had the perception that in order to be a genius, you inherently had to have a very quantitative brain and be good with numbers. Mozart is generally considered a "genius", but if he was exceptionally bad at math would you still consider him a genius?

Genius has as much meaning as "quite blue"

mozart is not a "genius", he's a musical genius

"genius" by itself doesn't really mean anything unless you accept it to mean any variety of genius, in which case of course he was "a genius"

because he is the greatest composer in western history, bar none (my own opinion, of course). Additionally, he was a child prodigy. Given how famous he is, this makes him the most celebrated child prodigy of all time.

Multiple intelligence theory suggests otherwise.

Basically.

difficult to draw the line on genius

we can say that genius is innovative and revolutionary, but that excludes a lot of people that are normally considered genius
