There have been two true geniuses to grace this forum. Both are more humble than you could ever imagine and would never even admit to the true extent of their genius.

Pfft, I can think of at least 4 :P

   Sorry, not letting you off the hook :)

  having seen where you were with piano aged 16, one could say you were *more* advanced in music than Ahmad and Adib were in maths

Haha guys, leave her alone.  :p

I think a level of confidence/cockiness is necessary, so long as it doesn't make you deluded.  The highest achievers I know won't deny that going into the exam, they are quite confident - what separates them from the people mentioned in the TC's examples is that they also recognise they are mortal, and that whilst they'll probably do well they need to ensure that they don't let anything slip by them.

What about businessmen instead of grades? Think Richard Branson.
