Plenty of people with high IQs lie on the couch and smoke dope all day.
Mensa published an article supporting eugenics several years ago. Not very smart. High IQ isn’t necessarily related to wisdom, motivation or common sense.
From what I've seen, a high IQ actively works against most of those. Particularly the "common sense" part.
Further, when you live your life not just "feeling", but KNOWING, that most people are not as smart as you... It colors your perception in every human interaction. This is where the social isolation aspect comes in.
“What Does Having an IQ Higher Than Einstein Mean?”
You wear slip on shoes exclusively...
Many people become serial killers. With or without high IQ.
Ditto that. The handful of people I have encountered that let it be known that they were Mensa were both arrogant and lazy. Not a winning combination.
