i like sherlock holmes and gregory house. I like guys who are always right. It is so easy to be with them. they know what to do - and even while they go through a phase of not knowing what to do, you know they will eventually figure it out! that's why being a genius is so good! and being with a genius is so good too!
but if they are not normal and don't bend to society's will or are unable to bend the society's will to theirs (like a politician) then they become more trouble than they are worth unless they are in specialized roles like a detective or a diagnostic doctor.. a researcher or a professor or a software engineer is a wasted career for these guys.
a genius (highest iq) and a politician (higher eq) are at the opposite end of the spectrum. most people are somewhere in this spectrum. i am not sure which end makes a better person to live with - one who knows all the answers but can't necessarily get there smoothly, or one who knows a good enough answer and also how to get it!
interesting to think about isn't it???
