Not exactly. People with high IQ, their thoughts. Has been different from ordinary people in the same realm.
For example. Just like adults and children. Of course, it only plays with children. Or tell them stories. They don't discuss things with their children. That's what it means.
I once met a child. 12 years old, extracurricular reading is the four classic novels. Or all kinds of novels. Their teacher said he didn't want to communicate with his classmates. Often alone. But he and I played very well. Later, I asked him, you have a good personality, why don't you like to communicate with your classmates? He told me what to say to the children. As soon as I listen. Aren't you a child too? Maybe his thoughts are very advanced, just like children of the same age. Not on the same channel.
People with high IQ may do the same. They are not very lonely. I just haven't met them. Someone to talk to.
I heard a sentence before. It is said that the road to the strong is lonely. Or that's the truth. They are lonely. Because I didn't find anyone to go with.
A person with a high IQ
Are you more prone to anxiety, depression and autism?
In the eyes of many people, the life track of smart people is always dazzling. For example, people who do well in standard IQ tests usually do better in class and at work. But not long ago, there was bad news for people with high IQ. According to the research results published in psychological journals by scientists from Peize College of Cremonte College Alliance, the proportion of high IQ people suffering from anxiety, depression, autism and other symptoms is higher than that of the general public.
In this study, the researchers analyzed a large number of samples of high IQ people and found that depression, bipolar disorder, social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism, are very common in this group of people, which is only psychological; Physiologically, people with high IQ are threatened by environmental allergies, asthma and autoimmune diseases. And the higher the IQ, the more serious this psychological or physical obstacle is.
"From genius to madness, there is only one step away", which is a famous saying of British poet john dryden. Previous studies have pointed out that the correlation between genius and madness is mostly caused by a specific gene called "DARPP-32". This reminds us of johnf nash, a Nobel laureate in economics, who struggled with schizophrenia all his life in the film A Beautiful Mind based on a true story. Scientists found in their research that compared with the general population, the biggest difference of "smart people" lies in mood disorders and anxiety. Psychologically and physiologically, people with super-high IQ show symptoms of "excessive excitement", which makes their physical functions bear the pressure beyond ordinary people.
expert opinion/advice
The brain or body of a genius is too active.
It is easy to produce psychological and physiological dysfunction.
In this latest study, researchers from Pitts College put forward a theory of "hyperactive brain/hyperactive body" to explain their experimental findings. According to this theory, in addition to these well-known advantages, super-high IQ is closely related to mental and physical hyperactivity. Many people will be curious about this special vocabulary. What is the state of "overexcitation"? Is it the same as what we know as ADHD?
On this topic, the reporter interviewed Jian Huang, a doctor of psychology at South China Normal University. "According to the researcher's point of view, hyperactivity should mean that when dealing with specific life events, the degree of physiological and psychological reactions is significantly stronger than that of normal people. In the field of psychology, more scholars will use the concept of' excessive stress sensitivity' to describe this specific physiological and psychological reaction. " Jian Huang told reporters that the specific performance of this concept is typical. For example, people with excessive stress sensitivity will have obvious physiological reactions and accompanying psychological discomfort to slight noisy sounds.
Polish psychiatrists and psychologists proposed in the 1960s that people with "excessive excitement" often have a very strong reaction to environmental threats or injuries. For example, an extremely smart person may over-analyze the boss's criticism, which may trigger a physical stress response and make people more anxious. Researchers believe that this kind of "vicious circle" interaction is more common in people with high IQ, so they are prone to psychological and physical dysfunction. Both the painter Van Gogh and the writer Jack Kerouac are regarded as geniuses, but they both show self-destructive behavior.
The geek's "secret":
All the "shel" around you
Are they all low emotional intelligence?
Anyone who has seen The Big Bang Theory knows that Sheldon is a typical geek. He is always talking about trivial things, not only neurotic, but also arrogant and withdrawn. Although not everyone with high IQ is low, many people will feel the same way, that is, they find the "smart people" around them difficult to get along with, perhaps because their personalities are really "too weird".
In fact, according to historical records, there were indeed many talented scientists or artists who belonged to the category of "geeks" in the past, so some researchers once put forward the conclusion that "the higher the IQ, the more difficult it is to get along with" and thought that the brain regions related to social intelligence were different from other intelligences.
"First of all, the view that' the higher the IQ, the more difficult it is to get along with' is only based on an intuitive test of a small number of samples in history, which is not necessarily accurate." Dr. Jian Huang said, secondly, if it must be said that people with high IQ may be difficult to get along with, one possible reason is that the above-mentioned research of Pitts College found that people with high IQ are more sensitive to stress and they are more sensitive to events than normal people. Therefore, this group may have some contradictions with others in the process of interpersonal communication, thus showing the phenomenon of communication difficulties.
Newton, a talented scientist, lived a life of genius and fighting. However, he is a loner, and his life is full of loneliness. Dr. Jian Huang told reporters that interpersonal communication is a complex psychological and social phenomenon, and it will also be influenced by many factors. For example, people with high IQ will have stronger ability to solve problems, so they will occupy a certain position in interpersonal communication, so we can't arbitrarily draw the conclusion that people with high IQ have low emotional intelligence and are not easy to get along with.

"high" IQ
Must be "low" healthy?
Do you know that human intelligence is divided into fluid intelligence and crystal intelligence-crystal intelligence is related to people's acquired learning and social environment; Fluid intelligence is related to human talent, which is what we usually call natural high IQ. Although the limited research at present can not completely prove that high IQ is a high risk factor of mental illness, there are some related mechanisms between high IQ and mental illness. Then, as a "high IQ group", how should we adjust ourselves in order to have both developed cognitive ability and healthy mental state?
Looking around the research field, not all "news" is "bad" for smart people. Studies from Edinburgh University, Oxford University and University College London found that children with high IQ grow up to be healthier and live longer; Another new study found that rapid reaction time is related to reducing the risk of premature death and high IQ; At the same time, there is other evidence that IQ may be a good indicator of gene and central nervous system efficiency.
In any case, any research findings about the relationship between IQ and health around the world are very good. From a practical point of view, this study will eventually affect the view of mental and physical health. If "overexcitation" is the correct reason for the relationship between IQ and health, then intervention measures to curb these adverse reactions may help people live a happier and healthier life.

The question can also be asked in turn, "Are lonely autistic people all people with high IQ?" A little sad and helpless, most autistic people are not only not geniuses, but also have far lower IQ than normal people.
If you have seen Rain Man starring Tom Cruise, you may think that autistic people are geniuses, although their daily performance is a bit strange. It is true that there is indeed a genius among autistic people, Einstein, who discovered the theory of relativity; Newton discovered three laws of force; Leonardo da Vinci, a scientist, inventor and painter, is autistic, but they are all patients with Asperger's syndrome.
Why do ordinary people have the illusion that autistic people are geniuses? Because only geniuses are often more easily seen by the world. There are obvious differences between typical autism and Asperger's syndrome. The mental development of patients with Asperger's syndrome is normal or even extraordinary, but it is still difficult to communicate with normal people.
More importantly, the proportion of patients with Asperger's syndrome is less than 10%, and even fewer patients with scholar's syndrome. For the purpose of traffic, the media use people's curiosity to make biased reports on autism, which often leads to Asperger's syndrome and scholar's syndrome.
Although these people have certain defects, they are extremely interested in certain fields and have talents and endowments different from ordinary people. As a result, some people are misled by the media to equate autism with genius, and they are unclear about the nature of autism and confuse the public.
If you have time to read the article starring Jet Li and Ocean Paradise, you will find another life for autistic people. The prototype of the realistic version of "Dafu" played in this paper is Mimi, whose mother is Tian Huiping, the founder of Beijing Xingxingyu Autism Education Institution. ?
Autism, also known as autism, is a kind of autism spectrum disorder, which is characterized by persistent social communication obstacles, narrow interests and repetitive and rigid behavior patterns.
At present, the survey of autism incidence in China has the characteristics of small geographical scope, narrow coverage and poor specificity. For example, in 2007, the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation estimated that the incidence of autism among children in Beijing was 0.09%. In 20 12 years, Shenzhen only conducted spot checks on infants in Shenzhen 18-24 months. American Autism and Developmental Disorders Control Network surveyed people who were born in 2006 and reached the age of 8 in 2065,438+04, and found that the prevalence rate of autism was 65,438+06.8 ‰, and said that the prevalence rate of autism in Asia, Europe and North America was 65,438+0% ~ 2%. Based on the incidence of 1% ~ 2%, the number of autistic people in China is1395 ~ 27.9 million.
From 65438 to 0908, the concept of autism was put forward, but the research on autism in China was slow. From 65438 to 0963, the textbook "Clinical Psychiatry" translated by China scholar Ji Ming and others in Britain was published, which was the beginning of the research on autism in China. From 65438 to 0982, Tao Guotai published a paper "Diagnosis and Attribution of Autism in Infants", and the problem of autism gradually entered the field of vision of academic research, media reports and public concern in China. After the convergence of children's autism problem stream and media stream, it has received more extensive social attention and a series of policy support. ?
After years of development, almost no one does not know the term "autism", but few people know what kind of disease autism is. Some people can't even tell autism from depression. Some people think that autism is a genius, and some people equate "I am autistic" in our daily life with autism.
At present, the cause of autism is not clear, and there are as many as 300 to 500 kinds of mutant genes. The ever-changing gene combination presents a disability feature together. This heterogeneity makes it difficult for the medical community to find the biological roots of diseases and make etiological diagnosis. Whether a child has autism tendency can only be judged according to his behavioral characteristics. But what is clear is that autism is not an acquired disease, not a psychological disease, not a lack of care in the family, but a congenital disease. Just like building a building. There were problems with the design drawings from the beginning, and the completed building was doomed to collapse.
Autistic people are born with pervasive developmental disorder. What is "pervasive developmental disorder"? These obstacles mainly include the following twelve kinds: inability to speak, poor conversational skills, special language, internal language, non-verbal expression obstacles, difficulty in interacting with colleagues, difficulty in sharing emotions, lack of reciprocal behavior, narrow interest, stubborn behavior, repetitive body movements and attention to details.
However, it is worth noting that not everyone with autism has all the above obstacles. Some people with autism may talk, but their behavior is stubborn. Some people with autism share emotional difficulties, but don't repeat body movements. In other words, there are no two autistic people in the world. Therefore, despite these years of publicity, it is still very difficult for ordinary people to identify or understand people with autism.
People with high IQ have their own opinions, don't follow others, have a good attitude towards things, and sometimes talk to themselves when they are alone. It has nothing to do with loneliness, but it has more connotations. Not even autism.
easier
First of all, autism is classified as developmental disorder caused by nervous system disorder, and its symptoms include social disorder, communication ability, rigid interest and behavior pattern. Autism is a widespread developmental disorder, characterized by serious and extensive social interaction, impaired communication ability and rigid behaviors, interests and activities.
And because of the influence of autism, 80% of autistic people have lower IQ than ordinary people.
It is undeniable that some autistic people show extraordinary IQ in some aspects because of their rigid interests, but we must recognize the reality that autistic people are not higher than normal people.
Regrettably, according to the current domestic propaganda, many people don't know about autism, and think that autism is just introverted, unwilling to talk, and likes to be alone. Moreover, many young parents think that the so-called nobles speak late, which delays the recovery and intervention of their children.
So here, I hope everyone can learn more about autism and provide help and tolerance for autistic people in society.
That's not true. This is not absolute! Autism is a developmental cognitive disorder.
Not necessarily, nothing is absolute!
