Has anyone ever known a person with an IQ of 180? What were they like. Do you think that having an IQ this high affects how you interact socially with people?

My grandfather on my mother's side had an IQ of 188. He was like most other men of his time; liked a good joke, could be stern, could get pooky-lipped if my grandmother didn't do something the way he thought she should.
He went for daily walks, picked up a coin on the sidewalk even if it was just a penny, had a memory that stretched waaaaay back.
Just by looking at him you couldn't tell he had a high IQ. And he wasn't snobbish.
I think his "normalness" had more to do with the times in which he grew up and lived and the way he was raised.

I read quiet a bit. was addicted to reading and studying for many years, I have an IQ I am told of about 170. I was told that over 30 years ago.I think differently from others.people couldn't understand me very well for many years.I talked of things they didn't understand.used words they didn't understand.I was a very introverted child. I read positive thinking books. and now am a great salesman. I feel separate from others in a sense. but I am 6ft8"300 lbs. and that might have had something to do with it. my father also had a high IQ, he was not a talker at all.but he always knew the answer to any question I ever asked him. I hope Y'all have a very Merry Christmas.

Social IQ has no relation to intelligence IQ.
High IQ individuals can seem to be perfectly average and quite sociable.
