Distinguishing talent from genius is inevitable fraught with difficulty, since neither term has a widely agreed definition or method of measurement. The most obvious question to ask is whether talent and genius form a continuum, or are separated by a discontinuity? (Genius by Andrew Robinson)

Distinguishing talent from genius is inevitable fraught with difficulty, since neither term has a widely agreed definition or method of measurement. The most obvious question to ask is whether talent and genius form a continuum, or are separated by a discontinuity? Put another way, the question becomes: should we speak of greater and lesser geniuses-- instead of simply genius? Physicists generally feel that Einstein is a greater genius than, say, his contemporary Niels Bohr(also a Nobel laureate). Artists feel the same about Picasso, as compared with his contemporary Georges Braque. And the same is true for composers regarding Mozart, as compared with his contemporary (and fervent admire) Joseph Haydn.
