Dragon Quest III remakes[edit]

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, genius is a personality that improves agility and wisdom growth, but reduces resilience and luck growth.

The hero cannot become a genius at the start of the game.

Other party members have a chance to be a genius when recruited as any class except warrior or martial artist, depending on their stat bonuses.
