Genius or Smart is an attribute of ideas/solutions and not of people.
Thank you for pointing this out. Employees in a company, like children in early education, really ought to be judged by their accomplishments rather than from some arbitrary benchmark; or, worse yet, from some cult idea of the "genius" (more commonly referred to as the "10x engineer" or "ninja" in SV parlance).

If one has a history of smarty pants contributions, &c then we may be justified in calling them intelligent. :)
