For even more clarification, IQ isn't something you can "work on", it's just an objective measurement no different than someone's height. Just like I wouldn't applaud someone for being really tall, I wouldn't do the same for someone (myself included) for being really high IQ. That said, it's always nice to be around people generally like yourself. Just like someone with cancer joins a cancer support group with other people with cancer. People to relate to.
Really high IQ is more of a condition than an achievement. Actually we wish more people would see it that way. It's like a weird burden that no one see that way, and, even resent you for...that you never asked for.
