no, we definitely don’t require that, but we are a LOT more selective than, say Goldman or D.E. Shaw in other ways and we do require that you be able to function as part of a team.
Well, it generally does take geniuses to achieve something monumentally stupid. Same principle as (unintentionally) creating an Unfriendly AI: current researchers are not competent enough to pose any reasonable risk of it, but a future genius might just fail hard enough.
