What do people with very high IQs do all day?

Extremely rare. As far I can remember, I’ve only met about 5 or so people who look something like this. And that’s already across 3 very different countries.

I work in a university and I’m surrounded by people who can make me feel dumb in 5 minutes by talking to them. The average IQ around here must be about 110–120 even after you count the staff and other employees that don’t study, teach, or do research.

This kind of bookish nerd?

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

Basically, everyone does what the average person does.

Of course, they work, but outside of work it’s not that remarkable. Some play sports, others play video games. They go to the gym, they shop, they do arts and craft, they volunteer, and so on. Many drink, socially. Yes, high IQ people have social life, contrary to the stereotype from the movies and TV shows. Many of them are probably better than the average IQ people.

I’ve read quite a number of times here on how, supposedly, difficult it is for high IQ people to communicate to the average person. Some of the smartest people I know are great communicators across a wide range of audiences. They’re as far as you can get from the pop culture stereotype of whose “speech” is just blabbering about very technical and obscure stuff.

Why do people keep denying the similarities between Latin and Italian by saying they are totally different languages when it’s obvious they sound similar?

It’s probably a boring answer, but it is what it is.

Yes, high IQ people have hobbies that don’t involve books or computers (not that many actually read books a lot and use computers all day). Many are very articulate. Many are physically attractive, heck, many are downright sexy. Oh yes, they do have sex lives too (how do you think they have families? And yes, some do it recreationally too).
