Read my last comment, not sure it got attahed to yours =S Ill get back to you later, but the c key of my GFs
comp just stoped working, so for now Im off. Read up on latent inhibition, and its manifestation in low iq, and high iq, people. I believe you will find it interesting.

Genius consists of creativity as well as intelligence. If we define creativity as the ability to think outside the box constituted of the thoughts of the masses, it is natural to asume a disorder would aid in divergent thinking? Certain neurological conditions, like Bipolar Disorder, can also vastly increase productivity in parts of the "condition cycle". The seclution a disorder might cause, especially in high IQ people, could set aside time for persuits of the intellect?

@avraks You should read "Touched with fire." If you look through history you will find that most genius people suffer from mental disorders. Examples: Nikoli Tesla, Goya, Warhol, Poe, Virginia Wolfe. Einstein's behavior suggest Asperger’s syndrome, according to a commentary in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Well, as a rather small portion of society has a disorder, it seems counter intuitive that a lot of high iq-induviduals have disorders, without the average IQ of people with disorders being above the mean? It could be explained by the low end of the iq scale having a counterweight, as I suggested yesterday, but I still cant vouch for that, and it only applied to kinds of depressions not genetically biased, from what I remember. I do not find high IQ in DSM Schizophrenia crit.

@avraks Hmm that contradicts what I learned in my psychology courses while obtaining my Biology degree (Masters of Science). I am not trying to sound pretentious I just wanted to state my credentials. Thank you for the complement. I did not say the disorders have a high percentage of people with high IQ's but that a high percentage of people who have high IQ's tend to have mental disorders. With Schizophrenia for example the DSM IV (diagnostic criteria) lists high IQ as a factor in diagnosis.

Bipolar disorder is a brain deteriorating disease. Most mental disorders, like schizophrenia, correlate negatively with IQ, although some forms of depression (bipolar is not one of them) have a higher incidence in people with high IQ. I remember reading somewhere that depression is overrepresented in both ends of the IQ distribution, but can't vouch for that.
I'm sorry if I'm a prick in telling you this, but I believe an IQ of 157 can safely see some decline ;) =)

This is complete and utter bullshit, really. Why would you make a comment about something you have obviously never looked into?
"Maybe that's good in some cases." LOL
