5 - Genius
from Rank Ideas
Like many words, genius originally had a neutral meaning, referring to one's innate ability. It came to mean exceptional natural ability around the 17th Century, a time that also gave us the Scientific Revolution! But also the Thirty Years War, so it's probably just a coincidence.
