Creative People Are Not Necessarily Smart and They Cerrtainly Are Not Nice

David Ogilvy was widely regarded as a genius – so much so that he wondered it if were true. After all, he reported, he had flunked out of Oxford. He decided to find out exactly how smart he was, expecting to have an IQ around 145. He scored 96 (Business Strategy Review, 2005).
