>>10618135Yre you crazy? 1 SD is the best range you can have. Quite clearly superior to most, yet close enough to understand them, common enough to have plenty of friends on your level and enough of mentors above. Most people will be able to understand and appreciate what you contribute.
2-3SD beginns the mad scientist range. Tesla, Newtons, Fenymans... Too smart for your own good, extraordinary even in academia. People don't understand you and you dont¨really understand them either. Whatever you contribute will likely be understood and appreciated only by a tiny circle of in the knows, while your 'friends' will jsut politely nod.
Far mroe above that and you will most likely end up institutionalized, rather than anything else.
