As someone who is himself extremely intelligent, I've long found extreme intelligence to be sorely overrated by our society and almost everyone in it. It's just an accelerant, very far from a panacea. I've grown to value compassion, a work ethic, openness to new ideas, and good judgement far more. (You can argue the last two are somewhat correlated with intelligence ... but the legion of counterexamples makes it clear it's only somewhat.)
