Book Preview: 

#1 Problems stemming from being abnormally intelligent are largely rooted in math. However, high IQ people rarely consider their intelligence in this manner. They simply do not know how few people with high IQs there are in the world.

#2 The Z-Score method gives you a good estimate of where you rank in society in terms of intelligence, but it does not visually convey just how out of the ordinary you are. To do this, you can graph your intelligence on a bell distribution chart since IQ is not linear. The majority of the population falls within one standard deviation of the average score, while the majority of the population falls within two standard deviations of the average score.

#3 The world was not built for special people. It was designed for normal people, and because of this, it is not designed for abnormally intelligent people. This means that you will have at least some problems operating in this society.

#4 Having a high IQ undermines the most important and fundamental thing in your life – society. You will derive your value and happiness from other people, and since there are so few abnormally intelligent people out there, it is unlikely that your spouse, boss, co-workers, friends, colleagues, teachers, and neighbors are all going to be geniuses.
