The highest scores determine the winner over a series of tests and tasks that include problem-solving and learning abilities in the fields of art, science and technology etc. PREMISE: The American public has seen singers, dancers, models; actors compete for prizes on national television. There is a desire for an intellectual competition whereby a single individual will be crowned "The American Genius .

Contestants are issued cards without knowing whether they are moving on or have been rejected.
