Errr ... sorry, how did you get the 5 years?
1st degree on 95, spent 1 year in re-insurance, 3 years in financial accounting.
Started in FM back office on 99 for 1 year (started my CFA), then get transferred to research analyst for 2 years. Became fund manager on 02.
IQ test show I am top 1%, but that's nothing to shout about if you think about it And I have meet plenty of people I consider that is "more genius" than me
My view: "supreme intelligence", as we commonly understand it, is NOT the an important criteria of a good fund manager. As I said, the technical part of the job could be learned by "normal intelligent" people with application.
I would say the following is important (in no particular order):
Discipline, Confidence but have (lots of) Humility, ability to detect Falsehood (read body language, the mythical six sense by one of FM I know , intuition by another FM . And I know a FM who actually participated in one of those world poker championship ), Open-minded, Willingness and Ability to Learn (you are investing in all type of industries, and you need to know how those business work and make profit. Or you could become a specialist, eg in IT, biotech, alternative energy ... ), Read broadly, Not afraid to ask seemingly "stupid" questions, Sceptical, Nerve of steel (I trained very hard to get this ) .....

Hahaha having nerves of steel will be quite a challenge for me . But yeah, thanks for the help and guidance. Will work hard towards my goal

Good luck in pursuing your dreams But remember, the world is a funny place. When opportunities knock on your door, make sure you look and evaluate before you slam the door, even though it may not seem to be what you are looking for
