Over the years, I've talked to many high IQ people in the range of 125 to 145. Interestingly enough, most everyone in that IQ range has had the same experience, they have out innovated, and, with unique thoughts and original ideas that their higher IQ counterparts were unable to come up with. Let's go ahead and talk about this, because I have some experience here and some thoughts as I do run a think tank which happens to operate online.
In the October 2013 edition of Psychology Today there was an interesting article titled; "The Smart Gap-How to Deal with Shortfalls in Brainpower," by Dr. Eric Maiseil which stated; "sometimes we get good ideas several steps above our intellectual pay grade." Now then, the writer of that article is also the author of a book which I do recommend;
"Why Smart People Hurt - A Guide for the Bright, the Sensitive, and the Creative," by Dr. Eric Maiseil, Conari Publishers, New York, 2013, 256 page, ISBN: 978-1-57324-626-2.
This book will also shed some light on this topic. Personally, I know a ton of smart people, and they often tell me they don't like social situations because everyone purposefully dummies down, they start talking about dumb stuff, stuff that doesn't matter; the weather, some TV show, some political comment, or even perhaps what Paris Hilton's puppy had for lunch that afternoon after the video went viral online - if that's not enough to drive a smart person bonkers, I don't know what is?
The other suggests that many smart people get bored or have mania events and want to stay on that creative intellectual high, and want to get back to it once off. He calls this "racing brain syndrome" which is a decent phrase if you've ever been there, myself, about three times a day, I can't turn it off, nor do I want too, when I am abuzz in intellectual thought, on the verge of an "ah-ha" moment, the last thing I want is some imbecile to come along and say something stupid about their opinion of the weather - I mean get a life, don't invade mine.
He also explains how it can be rather depressing to live in a non-intellectual society, or area, which I understand, of course, there is always the Internet or you can study humans in their natural habitat, which is also fun to do, it's almost like going to the zoo! Well, that's it for now, but I did enjoy that book and would recommend you get a copy for yourself.
