It would never be a problem...
the more the better...
;-)
I think your Q should be "Can One Ever Be "Too Logical""
my answer to that is YES!!! Logic can be cold hearted, but Intelligence has a knowledge of balance and thus can be wise or at the very least can undersand wisdom so that it can be adjusted accordenly ;-)
(either way ppl who are like this must be humble and not be a cocky know-it-all LOL)

As most people have suggested, being "too intelligent" is for the most part only a social problem. Outside of interaction with other humans, it's hard to imagine how a wealth of knowledge could be a hinderance.

From 'The Tao of Pooh'
"It's rather significant, we think, that those who have no compassion have no wisdom. Knowledge, yes; cleverness, maybe; wisdom, no. A clever mind is not a heart. Knowledge doesn't really care. Wisdom does."
in other words, we must balance knowledge with experience in order to have wisdom and feel fully alive

I would think it would be a problem when you correct everyone on what they are doing wrong because maybe you know more about that subject than them...i don't think there is such thing as to intelligent but there is some people who do abuse of that privilege.

the problem comes when one believes that they are so intelligent they have nothing else to learn. learning should be a life long process and should never stop.

You would be "too intelligent" as soon as it began interfering with your ability to live everyday.
At least, that's how the psychiatrist would prescribe an overpriced and dangerous drug to you for it.

Yes. When it hits you back in the face.

to me... only when it becomes *********. You can be just as smart as you want to be as long and you don't show it off.
