p.s: It's "Intelligence Quotient" and "Emotional Quotient."
My brain doesn't turn off and I constantly see fallacy in so much of what people say, so I just end up frustrated and either yelling at people for their inconsistencies or just shutting up and being sad because people are so hypocritial.
Plus, I have a big enough ego so assume that I am smart and that you want my response in this question.

The best part of being gifted is an increased capacity to enjoy life and to help others. You can get a lot more done and be more effective as a person.
Worst part of being gifted is that there is a danger in hubris. You begin to think that because you are smarter than others that you are naturally a better person as well.
That is not the case.
Being smart or handsome or beautiful is like being tall.
It is helpful in life, but it does not make you a better person.

If i'm not wrong, there are 2 types of characteristics one is IQ and the other is EQ.
Defination for IQ is Intelligent Quation - Enhances a person to think intelligently and response quickly to reaction.
EQ is Emotional Quation - Enhances a person to help someone by triggering the emotional factor of itself to situations.
If a person has high IQs and EQs will be low. Goes vice versa and very rarely will be equal.

I think one of the worst things about it would be a possibility of an unbalanced personality. Leaning to much toward the mind to solve everything, because it is the easiest thing to do.
Problems can't always be solved by our own minds alone. We are mind, body, and spirit, and we need all 3 to find our answers.
Without the physical health of the body, and also the spirit, we could still die really young. The mind can play the center, at that can lead to the neglect of the rest.
The positive is, in a well balanced personality, it must be great to enjoy the thrill of knowing things, and maybe helping society.

Probably the difficulty with relating to other people. This may be due, in part, to one's ego. It could also cause some anxiety about being "different" and lead to a projected false sense of superiority. High intelligence does not necessarily mean perceptive, intuitive, or empathetic. In fact, those are traits that are more valuable than intelligence.

the best thing is the sense of being grounded and not having to worry about depending on someone else....i have no issues with independence...the worst thing about it is that because i have trained my brain to work this way i cannot feed it enough information so i am constantly reading, thinking or trying to absorb information from any available source... and i also have trouble sleeping because my brain isnt ready to shut down and rest when my body is....also its a pain because i get asked to do stuff that others wouldnt get asked
