Im not from the field (speaking as an 'average joe' here), but i dont think genius come from brain mechanical power alone.
When you try to map some trends 'genius' people have that others dont, it comes to have some form of free/ilimited thinking, like kids often do, persistence and even stuborness based on faith that something others dont get it its actually possible, criativity, a good environment and in the end choose that path that im sure can become a big burden, that will require a lot of spirit, persistence and good will.
So i guess IQ tests alone will never be able to frame or to detect real geniuses in a objective automated manner.
Of course that more brainpower give you more chances to become a genius, but there are some traces of the personality that must also be there.
For instance, the majority of the smart people in the world, will not go through this route, giving they can just use their brains to get rich, famous, powerful and use it in a more egotistical and self-fulfilling manner.
