How To Assess Super-

Attainers

Leading Indicators of  Super-Attainment
 
1. Early Starters

SuperAttainers often start doing amazing things early in their life. This gives them a head-start in learning all of the difficult lessons required to achieve greatness. Wolfgang Mozart, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are a few of many examples. Sometimes they are pushed at a young age into a leadership position with fathers (examples are Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan and Julius Caesar).

2. Nonconformists

It is safe to say that SuperAttainers are not crowd followers. The making of momentous discoveries or promoting new ideas requires a personality that shows disdain for established authority and traditional opinions. Many great leaders led people who are culturally different from them in some important way. A few examples include: Adolf Hitler (Austrian Leading Germans), Joseph Stalin (Georgian leading Russians), Napoleon (Corsican Leading French).

3. Praise Be To Me

It is uncommon for SuperAttainers to be humble about their abilities. They are supremely confident in themselves. They are often described as arrogant by others and are prone to disparage competitors. In advanced societies, many SuperAttainers have come to recognize that being known as arrogant does not help their purpose and they do a good job of appearing modest. However, a bit of digging into their personality should uncover a deep feeling of self-significance.

4. Mentored & Motivated

Parents and other committed mentors often play a strong role in convincing SuperAttainers in their childhood that they are extraordinary and developing their abilities. Some work with other great Attainers and later carry on their work. They are often sent to the best schools and get the best tutors for extra training. Mothers can play a strong role if they are supremely confident in their son's natural abilities and pass on this belief in a manner that it is internalized. Mussolini`s mother is quoted as saying, `If he becomes a soldier, he will be a general. If he becomes a monk, he will be a pope`. Pope John Paul II`s mother told everyone who would listen that her new baby would `be a great man one day.` Extreme examples are 2 of history's greatest leaders, Alexander the Great and Jesus of Nazareth. In both instances, highly religious mothers were convinced their children were sons of supernatural beings. 

5. Alone to the Top

SuperAttainers are often described by others as dreamers, outsiders, cold-hearted and similar labels often given to loners. They are comfortable spending time in the company of themselves to ponder, study and develop. Many develop a love of solitary activities such as book-reading early in their life. They are not usually enthusiastic participants in team activities except when they are leader of the group, otherwise preferring individual activities. Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Joseph Stalin and Erwin Rommel are a few examples of these people

6. Hard-Knocks Schooled

SuperAttainers have often experienced traumatic times when their career or even their lives were in great peril. Childhood illnesses are one way that SuperAttainers gain this feeling of vulnerability and resolve to overcome it. It is during these times that they gain an anxious feeling about their time in the world and comes to desperate realization that they must accomplish all they can when they have the chance because it can all come crashing down in the future. 

7. Discontentment 

SuperiorAttainers have an abnormally strong need for continuous accomplishment. Success does not bring them a sense of peace. They always see some other person who has more than then they do and scheme to overtake them. SuperAttainers are impatient, dissatisfied and edgy when not engaged in activities that lead to the fulfillment of their goals. They seem psychologically unstable in this regard compared with others.

Two Types of SuperAttainers

I. Aristocratic SuperAttainers 

Pampered and pompous, these people excelled despite having been given it all. They attended the best schools and hobnobbed with the best minds. Because they are so deeply bonded to a successful elite, they are able to keep grounded when great success disrupts people sense of normality. They are less likely to lead themselves and their followers down the paths of mutual destruction. On the down-side, they are conservative and elitist. Real change seldom happens with these people in charge. 

Examples include: Winston Churchill, Peter the Great, Frederick the Great and Louis XIV.

II.Come-From-

Nothing SuperAttainers 

Rags to riches, these people pull themselves up through tremendous obstacles. Luck plays a role but most of their success is due to relentless force of character. Since they come from outside the establishment, they can be great agents of change. Unfortunately, they are prone to crash and burning when they inevitably overstretch themselves and their supporters. These people need to develop devoted relationships among powerful people who can keep them grounded. 

Examples include: Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Ferdinand Marcos.
