>>11687941High IQ (relatively to brain capacity)
Highly sensitive patterns; prone to see patterns where none exists. Tends to overinterpret data.
Compensates by tunnel vision, in order to not get overwhelmed by the pseudopatterns; unperceptive, extreme difficulty interpreting data that requires wider context, or many pieces of information at once. May get stuck in loops of circular thinking where connecting many source of data at once is required.
Poor ability going from concrete to abstract (He keeps stealing my cigarettes -> He's a thief); bad at interpreting experiments. May need specific education how to not fool himself.
Large vocabulary and seemingly expressive speech, but formulaic, with little genuine meaning. Overinterprets behaviors and may expect others to compensate.
Poorly connected neurons. Possible stronger lateralization.
Low IQ relatively to brain capacity.
Unsensitive patterns, may need strong redundancy to accept a pattern, but resistant to noise. (good at finding "GPS like", sub-noise patterns)
Holistic thinking, can afford to process more thanks to extracting only the strongest patterns. Perceptive, may see the whole field of vision at once.
Better at interpreting experiments, tends not to make hidden assumptions or get fooled by unknown unknowns.
Prefers smaller vocabulary, but relatively high information content. May incorrectly assume the speech of high IQ people contains more information than it actually does. Tends to unintentionally mislead high IQ people, who have trouble processing the more productive speech or may read between the lines what was not intended; fails to read between the lines what the high IQ people intended.
Highly connected neurons; may be less lateralized.
Many of the "geniuses" might have been low IQ people who managed to push through by gathering more information. Even Grothendieck said that he was decidedly less bright than others, but succeeded by learning things more thoroughly and did things that mattered.
