seeing some pretty odd characteristics. They're often socially incompetent or suffer from neuroses and
compulsions; there's no guarantee that all that IQ translates into common sense or the ability to communicate
with ordinary people. <

I've encountered maybe three serious geniuses - and the thing that struck me about two of them is how NORMAL they were. Dressed ok, had unremarkable social manners, basically nice people. But hoooo doggies bright.
One of them got by on three hours of sleep a day. Mutant. You can't be jealous of such people - only proud to be in the same species.
