What do people with very high IQs do all day? 95% of them waste their potential. High IQ people tend to overthink, and have massive self-doubt. They’re often overcautious, don’t know where or how to start and tend to procrastinate. Because they have such good reasoning abilities, they tend to rationalize noble indulgences, addictions and bad habits as “part of personality”. It’s like their minds can find a logical, perfectly plausible reason for destroying themselves. Many high IQ people slip into nihilistic thinking, if they don’t find something that stimulates them into meaningful action. IQ is like the horsepower of a race car. Smart work habits, and relentless discipline are the transmission and tires. Which, ultimately are more important to optimize.
