Socrates taught Plato; Plato taught Aristotle; Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. You won’t find anything remotely close re creativity & expansive disposition in any other space & time, including Northern Italy 13th- 15th C. The level of creativity is so astonishing, unpredictable & unsurpassed that I don’t see how investigations on IQ could be something decisive.
Creativity, originality, intellectual vigor, the range of speculation & emotional intensity fused with power of expression can hardly be explained by current psychometric models.
