Creators Synectics, a global consultants firm, chose their geniuses by awarding scores out of 10 to each entrant against a number of factors: paradigm shifting; popular acclaim; intellectual power; achievement and cultural importance. The firm emailed 4,000 Britons this summer and asked them to nominate up to 10 living people who they considered geniuses.

Their site is so chocked full of new age pablem it would be a great site to spoof but after looking at it and this "genius" list I wonder if someone is not pulling our legs.
