Worked for someone who had 175 IQ. Sociopath with few social skills or interests yet capable of design development along 8 cognitive parallel paths. This seemed to be of very limited use to normal life or considerations.

I knew a guy like that when I worked for Poland Spring water in their warehouse in Greenpoint Brooklyn New York 25 years ago. He had insane retention, I mean to the point where you’d ask him about anything and he would go into detailed explanations about it, and he could even tell you what happened on a certain time and date, but he was what I suspected borderline autistic and had trouble following orders and getting tasks done. It was sad because he use to have an elderly mom he lived with who would pick him up and he had to be in his 50s back then, he couldn’t even drive. His mom would drive him to the warehouse and he would wrap pallets with shrink wrap and sweep up and that’s about it but he was like a walking computer. Utterly brilliant but that essential ingredient was missing that would have made him independent and a success in society.
