What is the negative side if one has a high IQ?

智商太高对一个人有什么不利影响?

评论翻译
Mark B. Howell, PhD Industrial and Organizational Psychology (2026)
People are unsympathetic to your problems
People expect so much of you
Most things are boring to you
You can predict where movies, shows, books, and even jokes are going by constantly seeing the same patterns
You seem weird because, although you see the connection between two unlike things, no one else does
You seem weird because you are doing something in a different way than other people because you arrived at your decision through logic or research rather than ‘doing what everyone else is doing’
School and work are at a slower pace than what you want
Smart people are unsympathetic to the problems that others get into
It’s hard to find people that want to talk about deep issues all the time; a lot of people just want to talk about reality tv or sports
You have to constantly explain and reexplain how you arrived at your conclusions
You have a hard time expressing emotions in a healthy, appropriate way because most decisions you make aren’t based on emotions
If you jump too quickly into your conclusions, people will shut you down no matter how correct you are, simply because they couldn’t follow your logic or think of it themselves
Like other ‘higher traits,’ people get jealous, envious, and may hold that against you
But most times when people do not get along with high IQ people its because the high IQ person has no patience, empathy, or listening required for other people

人们对你的问题漠不关心
人们对你期望很高
大多数事情对你来说都是无聊的
通过不断观察相同的模式,你可以预测电影、节目、书籍甚至笑话的发展方向
你看起来很奇怪,因为,虽然你看到了两个不同事物之间的联系,但没有其他人看到
你看起来很奇怪,因为你做某事的方式与别人不同,因为你的决定是通过逻辑或研究得出的,而不是“做别人在做的事”
学校和工作的节奏都比你想要的慢
聪明人对别人遇到的问题缺乏同情心
很难找到愿意一直谈论深层次问题的人; 很多人只想谈论电视真人秀或体育节目
你必须不断地解释你是如何得出结论的
你很难以健康、恰当的方式表达情绪,因为你做的大多数决定都不是基于情绪
如果你太快下结论,不管你有多正确,人们都会拒绝你,因为他们无法理解你的逻辑或自己思考
就像其他“更高品质”一样,人们会嫉妒,并可能以此来反对你
但大多数时候,当人们不和高智商的人相处时,那是因为高智商的人没有耐心,没有同情心,也没有倾听别人所需要的

Yes and no.
Advantages of having a high IQ:
High traits of openness
More likely to find problem solving easy
More likely to succeed in their career’s
Excel academically
Earn more income over your lifetime
Disadvantages of having a high IQ:
Overthinking even the most simple question
More likely to be a social outcast
Rumination
Higher chance of developing PTSD (memorise the good and bad)
Being bullied for being different during school
Not being able to understand social cues (especially if your 2e)
Mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, isolation etc…
Not being able to get along with people in school/workplace
Overall having a high IQ can have its disadvantages if you let it consume you.

既有优点,也有缺点。
高智商的好处:
高度开放的特质
更容易发现解决问题的方法
更有可能在事业上取得成功
在学业上表现出色
在你的一生中赚取更多的收入
高智商的缺点:
连最简单的问题都想太多了
更有可能成为社会弃儿
反刍
患创伤后应激障碍的几率更高 (记住好的和坏的)
在学校里因为与众不同而被欺负
不能理解社交暗示(尤其是你的社交暗示)
心理健康障碍,如焦虑、抑郁、孤独等。
在学校或工作场所无法与人相处
总的来说,如果你让高智商吞噬了你,那么拥有高智商可能会带来不利影响。

Richard Lock
A friend of mine, with a PhD from MIT, once observed that ‘it’s a C- world’.
That’s how smart people view the larger world - as being made by, and for the benefit of, those in the middle-and-left of the bell curve of intelligence.
They have to live in and interact with the structures of an imperfect world and society, and cannot help but perpetually see its flaws and how it could be done better.
If only you’d just… no, how about we do it like……. why can’t we….. why do I have to…. sigh…..ok, fine.
Every time they have to interact with customer services, or an automated menu, or explain something to someone, or simply be with other people, doing normal people stuff and talking about normal people stuff, they’re either having to deliberately slow themselves down, or (possibly more relevantly) they’re being slowed down against their will - as if they’re trying to run in mud. They know they can run faster if they were just in an environment where they weren’t sinking with every step. But larger society offers them no firm ground on which to do so (which is why so many end up in academia or research or other institutions which offer oases of ‘firm ground’, where the meaning of their comments and conversation is simply immediately grasped without having to spend five minutes explaining the background and context, where there’s a good chance of someone providing an insight that they themselves haven’t already thought of, and so on).
Living in the ‘normal’ world is intensely frustrating for them. Like driving a supercar in heavy, slow, traffic.
That’s the downside.

我的一个朋友是麻省理工学院的博士,他曾经观察到“这是一个C-世界”。
这就是聪明人看待更大世界的方式——这个世界是由处于智力钟形曲线中间和左边的人创造的,并且是为他们的利益而存在的。
他们必须生活在一个不完美的世界和社会的结构中,并与之互动,他们不得不永远看到它的缺陷,以及如何才能做得更好。
如果你只是…...不,我们像…...那样做怎么样……。为什么我们不能…...。为什么我要…...。叹息…...。好的,很好。
每次他们必须与客服部门或者自动菜单互动,或者向某人解释某事,或者只是和其他人在一起,做普通人的事情,谈论普通人的事情,他们要么故意放慢自己的速度,要么(可能更相关的是)他们在违背自己意愿的情况下放慢了速度——就像他们试图在泥泞中奔跑一样。他们知道,如果他们处在一个不会每一步都下沉的环境中,他们可以跑得更快。但社会并没有为他们提供这样做的坚实基础(这就是为什么这么多人最终进入了学术界、研究机构或其他提供“坚实基础”的机构,在那里,他们的评论和对话的意义可以立即被理解,而不必花五分钟解释背景,很有可能有人提供他们自己还没有想到的见解,等等)。
生活在“正常”的世界对他们来说是非常令人沮丧的,就像在拥挤、缓慢的交通中驾驶超级跑车一样。
这就是缺点。

Wolfgang Berlin, Graduated from Three US American Universitten
People are more athletic than you, people are more talented in the arts than you, people are better looking than you, people are taller than you, people are more social than you, people are happier than you…
Being intelligent does “not” guarantee with any certainty you will be wealthy or happy.
Being intelligent “does” guarantee people will constantly challenge you, argue and demean what you say, “you are not so smart”.
Being intelligent tends to make you “obsessive”, always in effort to understand, never enough time to read and comprehend the world around you.
Being intelligent ruins the television experience, time wasted on remedial thoughts and shallow imagination of others.
Being intelligent isolates you from most people; conversation is so trivial and simple.
Being intelligent means you will never live long enough to understand the world around you.
Most intelligent people I know are boring, irritating to be around, and condescending.
Why people dwell on intelligence when it is only one trait that forms our society and economy.
One should seek happiness, love, and content; intelligence is only one aspect of who you are, it does not define you.

有人比你更有运动天赋,有人比你更有艺术天赋,有人比你长得好看,有人比你高,有人比你更善于社交,有人比你更幸快乐。
聪明并不能保证你一定会富有或快乐。
聪明“确实”保证人们会不断地挑战你,争论和贬低你所说的话,“你没那么聪明”。
聪明往往会让你“着迷”,总是努力去理解,却没有足够的时间去阅读和理解你周围的世界。
聪明会破坏看电视的体验,浪费时间在补救的想法和他人肤浅的想象上。
聪明使你与大多数人隔绝; 交流是如此的琐碎和简单。
聪明意味着你永远不会有足够的时间去理解你周围的世界。
我认识的大多数聪明人都很无聊,让人讨厌,还高高在上。
当智力仅仅是构成我们社会和经济的一种特征时,为什么人们还要关注智力呢?
一个人应该追求幸福、爱和满足; 智力只是你是谁的一个方面,它不能定义你。

Noah William Emerson, studied General Liberal Arts at Monroe Community College (2022)
From one I can tell there are several things;
You are often associated with various mental disorders: Einstein, Lincoln and Jefferson had Autism, Van Gogh was pretty mental and I think Isaac Newton has problems not to mention that many have depression. Also my Dad has an IQ 150–160 and I have autism also.
You often have weird practices; many people above mentioned already have disorders but some take it to the level of bizarreness with Van Gogh tearing his ears off, Einstein was also pretty a-social, and Newton believed in the Occult.
You often believe in unconventional political ideologies; many smart people (excluding philosophers) often follow unconventional ideologies as Einstein was socialist, and other famous scientists were including Bertrand Russell.
Your often a-social; it’s pretty hard to communicate with other people as you don’t really have the social abilities to do so as a high IQ is often associated with mental disorders.
You get a lot of attention; many people aren’t really big on having so much attention (just look at child stars for example) but this goes far for people with high IQ as they often get a lot of attention because they are smarter then most people.
You are often more focused on the negative; it’s often said that “ignorance is bliss” and it sometimes is for smart people as they are more aware of how uneasy the world can be which explains why they have depressed personalities.
You have high expectations for yourself; because of the fact that you are smarter than most people you believe that your the smartest of the lot and when someone is shown to be smarter than you it can hurt your ego.
You don’t wanna fail; again because of the high expectations of you fail at something then its going to take a huge hit to your ego.
I could go on but I’m running out of ideas.

从一个例子中,我可以看出有几种情况;
你经常与各种精神障碍联系在一起: 爱因斯坦、林肯和杰弗逊都有自闭症,梵高也有精神问题,我认为艾萨克·牛顿也有问题,更不用说还有很多人有抑郁症。我爸爸的智商在150-160之间,我也有自闭症。
你经常有奇怪的做法:上面提到的很多人本来就有心理障碍,但有些人的心理障碍已经到了诡异的地步,梵高扯掉了自己的耳朵,爱因斯坦也不合群,牛顿相信神秘主义。
你经常相信非传统的政治意识形态; 许多聪明人(不包括哲学家) 往往遵循非传统的意识形态,因为爱因斯坦是社会主义者,其他著名的科学家包括伯特兰·罗素。
你通常不合群; 因为你没有社交能力,所以很难与他人交流,因为高智商通常与精神障碍有关。
你会得到很多关注; 很多人都不喜欢得到那么多的关注 (比如看看童星就知道了),但这对高智商的人来说很适用,因为他们经常得到很多关注,因为他们比大多数人都聪明。
你通常会更关注消极的事情; 人们常说“无知是福”,有时这是对聪明人来说的,因为他们更清楚这个世界是多么的令人不安,这就解释了为什么他们有抑郁的性格。
你对自己有很高的期望; 因为你比大多数人都聪明,所以你相信自己是所有人中最聪明的,当有人被证明比你聪明时,你的自尊就会受到伤害。
你不想失败; 由于对你的期望很高,你在某件事上失败了,那么它将会对你的自尊造成巨大的打击。
我还可以继续说下去,但我已经想不出来了。

Steven Ussery, 68-year-old husband, grandfather, and amateur philosopher
I am a 66-year-old Silicon Valley engineer with two advanced engineering degrees from Texas A&M University. My mother, now deceased, had me tested via the Stanford-Binet IQ test when I was very young. I have no memory of that testing. However, she always told me I scored between 135 and 140.
Having said all that, I can honestly say that if there is a downside to having a high IQ I have never personally discovered it. Some people with a high IQ have problems fitting in and being accepted by their less intelligent peers. However, I have almost always been smart enough to hide my intelligence from people who might resent it. I am good at fooling people into thinking that I am not smarter than they are. Hence, I have never run into that problem except very early in life until I learned how to do that. (i.e. It was somewhere around third grade.)

我是一名66岁的硅谷工程师,拥有德克萨斯农工大学的两个高级工程学位。我母亲(已去世)在我很小的时候就让我做斯坦福比奈智商测试。我不记得那次测试了。然而,她总是告诉我,我的分数在135到140之间。
说了这么多,我可以诚实地说,如果高智商有坏处的话,我个人从来没有发现过。一些高智商的人很难融入和被不那么聪明的同龄人所接受。然而,我几乎一直都很聪明,对那些可能讨厌我的人隐瞒我的智慧。我善于欺骗人们,让他们以为我并不比他们聪明。因此,我从来没有遇到过这个问题,除非我很早就学会了如何解决这个问题。(也就是说,大约在三年级左右。)

For me, the biggest negative side of having a relatively high IQ is the Dunning-Kruger Effect. In a nutshell, people who are not very smart assume that they are smarter than they are, and people who are quite smart assume most others are as smart as they are.
Here is how it plays out in real life. As a person of relatively high IQ, I know that there are multiple sides to every story, that I could be wrong, that there is much more to learn, etc. Further, for too long I assumed that others were seeing the world just as I was.
This turned out to be a foolish assumption. People of lower intelligence — who are often blindly confident in their ignorance — can make me look like I am waffling, or twist my words to make it look like I don’t know what I am taking about. They end up using my intelligence against me in everyday situations with their belligerent confidence in their ignorance.
Now that I have gotten wise to the Dunning-Kruger Effect, I find the communication gap to be vast. I keep my thoughts to myself now, except with a small group of friends.

对我来说,拥有高智商最大的负面影响就是邓宁-克鲁格效应。简而言之,不太聪明的人会认为自己比实际更聪明,而相当聪明的人则会认为大多数人都和他们一样聪明。
以下是它在现实生活中的表现。作为一个智商相对较高的人,我知道每个故事都有多个方面,我可能是错的,还有很多东西需要学习,等等。而且,很长一段时间以来,我一直认为其他人和我一样看待这个世界。
事实证明,这是一个愚蠢的假设。低智商的人常常盲目地相信自己的无知——会让我看起来像在胡扯,或者扭曲我的话,让我看起来好像不知道自己在说什么。在日常生活中,他们总是对自己的无知充满自信,用我的智慧来对付我。
现在,我对邓宁-克鲁格效应有了清醒的认识,我发现沟通的差距是巨大的。现在,除了和一小群朋友在一起,我现在什么都不告诉别人。

Karan Mehta, Laser Designer, PhD in EE, Neurodiverse
I just want to start of by saying that in the modern world, a high IQ has far more positives than negatives, but if I had to pick a negative side that is more common among high IQ people, then it would be this: they are very good at rationalizing and justifying their shortcomings and at making great excuses to avoid putting in the effort.
Smart people’s tendency for overthinking allows them to find great and reasonable excuses and justifications whenever they fall short of expectations. Those who do less self-justifying and those who can’t be as creative with excuses would instead just work on improving themselves and practicing and getting the job done.
Another negative of a high IQ could be that the person lacks self-discipline and a work ethic because they are used to coasting along through school because everything came easy to them. Those who struggled a bit in school tend to do better in college because they have the required work ethic to tackle genuinely hard course material. Coasting for too long leads to bad habits, and these bad habits will be a real liability in challenging environments.
I’m not saying that all high IQ people show such shortcomings, but I’m merely suggesting that it might be easier to fall prey to these vices if one is smarter.

首先,我想说的是,在现代世界,高智商的积极面远远多于消极面,但如果我必须选择一个在高智商人群中更常见的消极面,那就是:他们非常善于为自己的缺点找理由,并为避免付出努力找借口。
聪明人过度思考的倾向,让他们在任何没有达到预期的时候,都能找到伟大而合理的借口和理由。那些不太会自我辩护的人找的借口不会那么有创造力,他们只会努力提高自己,练习并完成工作。
高智商的另一个负面影响可能是,这个人缺乏自律和职业道德,因为他们习惯于在学校里混日子,因为一切对他们来说都很容易。那些在学校有点困难的人在大学里往往表现更好,因为他们有必要的职业道德来处理真正难学的课程材料。过长时间的懈怠会导致坏习惯,而这些坏习惯在具有挑战性的环境中会成为真正的不利因素。
我并不是说所有高智商的人都有这样的缺点,但我只是想说,如果一个人更聪明的话,可能更容易成为这些恶习的牺牲品。

Steve, Educated in gifted students classes and studied intelligence
My wife says it is difficult to live with someone like me because unlike her, I do not accept something as fact simply because I read or heard it, nor because it fits into my belief system. As my wife once said when she was crying after she was proven wrong, “Tell me I am right even if I am wrong because I am tired of being wrong all the time. It makes me feel stupid.” Mind you, I did not tell her she was wrong to elicit this response. I merely did what she said after telling her I did not think it was correct.
I have seen that in social circles I must nod my head and agree, to fit in even if I know what was said was wrong. Another sin is to ask for references or the source of the information presented. As my wife once said when she was proven wrong why would my friend tell me a lie. I had to explain to her that her friend was not lying, but merely doing like most others do and believed what she was told without verifying it.
So I have to let a lot things slide even if I know that what they said is wrong. On the upside, my wife now researches things before presenting them as fact. I told her that being intelligent did not mean knowledgeable. I told her that I know what I a fact or not because I look things up in unbiased sources. Now she does too. If only the rest of the world would do the same. Then again, politicians would have a hard time getting elected.

我妻子说,和像我这样的人生活在一起很困难,因为我不像她,我不会仅仅因为读到或听到,或因为它符合我的信仰体系,就把它当作事实来接受。就像我妻子在被证明是错的时候哭着说的话:“即使我错了,也要告诉我我是对的,因为我厌倦了总是错。”这让我觉得自己很愚蠢。”请注意,我没有告诉她,她做出这种反应是错误的。我只是在告诉她我认为那不对之后照她说的做了。
我发现,在社交圈里,即使我知道别人说的是错的,我也必须点头同意,才能融入其中。另一个错误是询问参考资料或信息的来源。正如我妻子曾经说过的,当她被证明是错误的,为什么我的朋友要对我说谎。我不得不向她解释,她的朋友没有撒谎,只是像大多数人一样,相信了别人告诉她的事情,但没有证实。
所以我不得不对很多事情放任不管,即使我知道他们说的是错的。好的一面是,我妻子现在先研究事情,然后再把它们作为事实陈述出来。我告诉她,聪明并不意味着博学。我告诉她,我知道什么是事实,什么不是,因为我查阅资料的来源是公正的。现在她也知道了。要是世界其他地方也能这么做就好了。话又说回来,政客们将很难当选。

Jamie Lynn, MS Financial Mathematics, Johns Hopkins University
The most common trait would be a disconnect from pop culture and humans.
Not understanding the purpose of celebrities, gossips, etc. This then leads to social awkwardness, not knowing what people are saying, which then leads to social isolation, which then leads to you doing your own thing and exploring your own nerd stuff.
You sink into the nerd stuff and enjoy it fully but you’re human, you need social interaction. You go out and make new friends. But then realize they don’t understand you. So you’re left alone again. It keeps repeating.
The mind is very active and very entertained but the social aspect of it is very lonely and sad.

最常见的特征是与流行文化和人类脱节。
不了解名人、八卦等的目的。这会导致社交尴尬,不知道别人在说什么,然后导致社交孤立,然后导致你做你自己的事情,探索你自己的书呆子东西。
你沉浸在书呆子的东西中,并充分享受它,但你是人,你需要社交互动。你出去结交新朋友。但后来发现他们并不理解你。所以你又被孤立了。它不断的重复。
大脑非常活跃,非常有趣,但它的社交方面非常孤独和悲伤。

Rich Von Behren, former School Psychologist (1980-2010)
The thing I believe is a downside is emotional disturbance, of a type. In high school, students talk a good game about their independence and how much of an individual they are. I sometimes spoke to high school classes and brought that topic up. I asked them if that was so and they always were united that it was. So, I asked them to raise their hands if they had on jeans. 98 percent did. Who has on tennis shoes or sneakers? 98 percent did. Who has on a tshirt? 98 percent did. So, now that we have gotten that “individual” thing out of the way, we had our talk on psychology. That is by far the norm. I was the coach of the High Q team, a group that competed academically with other schools. I had a hard time getting the truly gifted to go, they wanted to stay in class and not be ‘different”. That is a theme of HS Gifted students. Although they like being very intelligent they also want to be just like everyone else. Sometimes I had to argue that with parents of gifted students who either wanted their child out of Gifted services or did not want to place them in the first place (although they wanted the testing to “know”). I always told them, you child is very intelligent and all the other students and teachers know that, all you are doing is denying them additional services that might help them do even better. No matter to some, they didn’t want to be different. That’s quite a task to deal with, you enjoy the benefits of high intelligence but want your peers to think you are just like them. It’s an impossible task. Just thought of another problem. I had a young lady who was in Gifted/Behavior Disorders. In my opinion, she was in Behavior Disorders (placed before I got there) because she was just a different girl, the one who would have piercings now and purple hair/tattoos. However, she was in a school of 100 and a town of 800 at best. She just plain didn’t fit in. If a teacher said something that was in error, she called them on it. She didn’t take crap from other students either. I loved her but she was in the wrong place. We developed a plan (with her eager consent) to get her graduated early using college classwork and get her out of this place where she was an odd duck and into college where she would fit right in. So, in summary, the pressure to fit in is very intense with some students, they will deny their abilities, sometimes not do nearly as well as they could so they don’t attract attention even when it meant giving up very nice benefits (Gifted services, AP classes) just due to peer pressure. This sometimes leads to emotional issues because you can’t really be both things to all people.

我认为不利的一面是某种类型的情绪障碍。在高中,学生们很喜欢谈论他们的独立性和他们有多独立。我有时会在高中课堂上讲到这个话题。我问他们是不是这样,他们总是团结一致。所以,如果他们穿着牛仔裤,我请他们举手。 98% 做到了。谁有网球鞋或运动鞋? 98% 做到了。谁有 T 恤? 98% 做到了。所以,既然我们已经摆脱了那个“个人”的束缚,我们就开始谈论心理学。这是迄今为止的常态。我是HighQ (高智商) 团队的教练,这是一个与其他学校在学术上竞争的团队。我很难让真正有天赋的学生去,他们想留在课堂上,不想与众不同。这是高中天才学生的主题。尽管他们喜欢变得非常聪明,但他们也想和其他人一样。有时,我不得不与那些天才学生的家长争论,他们要么希望自己的孩子脱离天才教育,要么一开始就不想把他们放在首位(尽管他们想让测试“知道”)。我总是告诉他们,你的孩子非常聪明,所有的学生和老师都知道,你所做的一切就是拒绝给他们额外的服务,而这些服务可能会帮助他们做得更好。对一些人来说无所谓,他们不想与众不同。
这是一项相当艰巨的任务,你享受着高智商的好处,但又希望你的同龄人认为你和他们一样。这是一个不可能完成的任务。我刚想到另一个问题。我有一位年轻女士患有天赋/行为障碍。在我看来,她患有行为障碍(在我到达那里之前就已经有了),因为她只是一个不同的女孩,一个现在会有穿孔和紫色头发/纹身的女孩。然而,她所在的学校只有100人,而镇上最多只有800人。她就是不合群。如果一个老师说了什么错误的话,她就会点名批评。她也不听其他学生的废话。我爱她,但她来错地方了。我们制定了一个计划(在她热切同意的情况下),让她利用大学的课堂作业提前毕业,让她离开这个古怪的地方,进入她能马上适应的大学。因此,总的来说,一些学生融入社会的压力非常大,他们会否认自己的能力,有时表现得不尽如人意,因此他们不会吸引注意力,即使这意味着仅仅因为同龄人的压力而放弃非常好的福利(资优服务、AP课程)。这有时会导致情绪问题,因为你不可能对所有人来说都是这样。
