“When Elon gets into something, he develops just this different level of interest in it than other people,” Elon Musk's college pal says. (via CNBCMakeIt)

Farooq, a Canadian who grew up in Geneva, bonded with Musk over their backgrounds abroad and their interest in strategy games, according to the book. Living in such close quarters, Farooq learned a lot about Musk, including what Farooq sees as his defining trait.

According to the book, Musk's intensity was a "constant" during the pair's long friendship, even beyond video games. After an economics exam, Musk, Farooq and their other classmates compared notes to try to estimate their exam scores, when it became clear that Musk had a much better handle on the material than the rest.Others close to Musk noticed the tendencies in him as Farooq did.

Justine also said Musk would compare his grades with hers. She and Musk took the same abnormal psychology class, and after an exam, Justine received a 97, Musk a 98.
