Johan's profile says:
With just his intelligence, he has brought various companies, criminal enterprises, white supremacist groups and other organizations down to their knees. At the age of ten, he managed to manipulate fifty people in 511 Kinderheim to kill each other shortly after having arrived to the orphanage. Between the ages of twelve and thirteen, he quickly learned and became perfectly fluent in English and French over the course of thirteen months, and at the age of fifteen, he started and presided over an underground bank, showcasing an in-depth understanding of mathematics, economics, trade, business, politics, management and leadership in spite of his young age. Heinrich Lunge, a man who could determine a killer's exact motives and personality by analyzing one of their crime scenes and psychologically entering their mindset, was unable to determine anything after analyzing the scene of one of Johan's crimes, eventually going as far as to say "I do not exist" when attempting to assume the latter's mentality. Hans Georg Schuwald, a prominent business figure renowned for his ability to manipulate the German economy with ease, praised Johan's knowledge of law and economics, even comparing him to the biblical Beast of Revelations and claiming him to be the beyond-human, chaotic monster he had aspired to be in years past. His mastery over psychology and analysis is such that he is able to find the root and foundation of an individual's personality within moments of meeting them, having displayed this ability countless times throughout the series
For this, he is credited with a brilliant intellect, but doesn't that make him an extraordinary genius? At the age of 10, he organized a massacre among the most talented psychological teachers selected by the state for a secret project and the children being tested, each of whom was a potential leader of the country. At the age of 15, without focusing on a specific case, but only supporting his plans and finances, he founded an underground bank, and the man who easily manipulates the economy of the whole country calls him the ideal he has been striving for all his life.
Brilliant detectives are just marking time investigating his case.
With one short conversation, he is able to bring a seasoned detective to suicide, which indicates his deepest knowledge of psychology and all this at his young age.
At the same time, he does not devote himself entirely to any of these cases. All these are just elements of his plan.
I suppose his intelligence should be rated higher than just "genius"
