IQ doesn't always translate in that regard, so much as skillset and wisdom within a particular niche. Imagine what a 180 IQ can come up with in their professional purview
I knowing it's a joke but true story I was a nuclear power plant operator in the Navy. I've worked with people who scored perfectly on the ASVAB who do menial jobs now they are out. It's really sad to see someone you know has a 140 IQ and is probably smarter than you working at Walmart or as a Pizza Delivery guy with no plans of doing better.
Absolutely. If you can't break down your ideas into digestible chunks in terms that people are familiar with, you can not communicate. If you communicate well, and understand the dynamics of rapport, you will always be more effective than someone who is not. In any industry.
Fortunately it is something that can be learned. Social dynamics can be gamed and leveraged in a multitude of ways, but again, it comes down to your skill space, and what tangent your mind has had you studying all your life.

Actually I’ve heard stories of this also. Those “soft skills” got me into trouble. Plenty of times.
So was Homer Simpson. His IQ is 55.

You haven't met many brilliant people if you think that honestly.
Does not getting an erection count as a soft skill?
